Fingerless Gloves Free Pattern

The Inspiration for my Alice Fingerless Gloves Free Pattern.

The inspiration for my free Alice fingerless gloves came from wanting to add a longer cuff to a worsted weight pair of fingerless gloves. 
I also wanted a textured crochet stitch that reminded me of lacy snowflakes. SO I came up with this quick and easy pattern using the Iris stitch. There is a longer more substantial cuff created by the fpdc, bpdc rib pattern. This is all explained in the pattern below.
If you love the Alice fingerless gloves crochet pattern you may also be interested in my Short and Chunky Fingerless Gloves. These were so popular with my testers as they loved how quickly they made up. Another glove pattern that makes up quickly for the Christmas Season and is especially good for gifting is my Oh So Cosy Fingerless Gloves Pattern.

These gloves are perfect for beginners.  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.

The Alice Fingerless Gloves  look great in any worsted weight yarn. Look for the number (4) on the label.
There are two sizes available as well so they can fit small/medium or  medium/large sized hands.

Don’t forget to pin it for later.

Fingerless Gloves Free Pattern

This free fingerless glove crochet pattern is perfect for beginners as well as advanced crocheters.

You can make the Alice Fingerless Gloves using  iris stitch. This stitch uses double crochet stitches and a chain st to create the beautiful lacy clusters that make this such a beautiful stitch to use.

For those new to crochet, I have videos on my Carroway Crochet youtube Channel that will demonstrate the double crochet stitch. I have both left and right handed version available to help beginner crocheters.

Special Stitch used in the Cuff of the Winter Time Fingerless Glove pattern.

For the cuff you will do Front Post Double Crochet and Back Post Double Crochet.
Here is a great video tutorial to learn this technique.

FPDC or front post double crochet.

Yarn over, insert hook from the front side of the work to back and then to front again, around the post of the indicated stitch on the previous row; yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops, (2 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops, (1 loop on hook).
 

BPDC or back post double crochet.

Yarn over, insert hook from the back side of the work to front and to back again around the post of the indicated stitch on the previous row; yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (2 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (1 loop on hook)
 
A tip to remember when working this ribbed cuff.
When you work 1 front post double crochet (FP DC) around the post of the double crochet in the row below, this stitch is raised on the surface of the fabric facing you. Always make sure that the post stitches are raised to the same side in each successive row or round. Keep an eye on the ribs and remember: If the stitch you’re working is raised to the front, work a front post stitch; if the stitch is raised to the back, work a back post stitch.
 

Special Stitch for the Pattern:

The Iris Stitch. How to Crochet the Iris Stitch for a Flat Project

This is a lacy stitch with a great texture. Here is how to make it when working with a flat piece. For a flat piece you start with a multiple of 4.
Row 1. Ch 3, (2dc, ch1, 2dc) into the next st, *sk3 st, (2dc, ch1, 2dc) in the next st, * repeat from * to * until 2 st remain, sk a st, dc into the last st.  Turn work.
Row 2: Ch 3, *(2Dc, ch1, 2dc) in next ch1 sp.*, Repeat between * and * to the end of the row, make a dc into the top of the turning ch3 from the previous row. Turn work.
Repeat Row 2

 

Instructions:

The instructions for both sizes are written below.
I have written two numbers to represent the number of stitches you will chain to start your project and also how many stitches you will have at the end of each row. The first number is for the small/medium, and the second number is for the medium/large size.
Eg: When you see Ch 24, (28) the 24 is for the small/medium size and the 28 is for the medium/large size.
Note: These gloves are crocheted in the round so you do not turn the work.
Note: Use the larger hook to make the foundation chain so it is easier to fit the hand into the glove.
 
With a K hook
Ch, 24 (28) and join with a sl st into the first chain to form a ring, being careful not to twist the chain.
Change to the J hook.
Round 1: ch 2, dc into each ch around, join to the top of the ch2 with a sl st. 24 (28)
