The Short and Chunky Fingerless: Gloves: Free Crochet Pattern
The Short and Chunky Fingerless Gloves.
I’m so happy to introduce the “Short and Chunky Fingerless Gloves” to you, just in time for the winter season. I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick and you will find your finished gloves are super soft and squishy and perfect to keep your hands cozy while leaving your fingers free for texting or taking pictures on your phone.

The Inspiration for the Short and Chunky Fingerless Gloves.
The inspiration for The Short and Chunky fingerless gloves crochet pattern came from a real life experience. When I was travelling a few years ago in France, it was January and quite cold. I kept wanting to take pictures with my phone and had to keep taking my gloves off to take a picture and then put them on to keep warm. That is when I thought fingerless gloves were a wonderful invention. As soon as I got home I found myself a pattern and made some. They were a lovely lacy pair and the pattern was from Happy Berry Crochet.
Well I soon got creating my own designs when I had a customer ask for some evil eye fingerless gloves for an event she was attending. I made them from chunky yarn and added some back loop only single crochet detailing. I will upload that pattern soon, I promise.
But today I am sharing a new free fingerless gloves crochet pattern. These Short and Chunky Fingerless Gloves were so popular with my testers as they loved how quickly they made up. Since publishing the pattern they have been a best seller on my market stalls, especially during the Christmas Season. They make fantastic gifts and make up so quickly.
There is an ad free, printer friendly PDF pattern available in my Etsy shop if you would prefer a written pattern. Just click on the button for the PDF pattern.
You can also find them in my Ravelry Shop.
These gloves are perfect for beginners and it is why they are the first pattern I am sharing here on my blog. They are made in the round, so there are no seams to sew and they grow very quickly. You will have so much fun making these and sharing them with loved ones. I gave my nieces a pair each for Christmas and they love them.
