These are beautiful, and look nice and warm. Pinned!
I just finished a pair of Amazing Grace Fingerless Gloves and they are beautiful. I made an ear warmer head band to match. Having 25 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren and now my first great great grandchild l do a lot of crocheting, knitting and sewing to make gifts. It is a wonderful pass time and I look for free pattern because I live on SS income. I watch for sales on yarn and if I have a like extra money I buy 1 or 2 skeins of yarn, just enough to make small item. The left over yarn I make granny squares and when I have enough for a blanket I sew them together for a blanket. I have an old steamer trunk and I keep the things I make in it. I call it my treasure chest.
A granddaughter and her husband came to visit this past spring and I told her to go into the trunk and take things for each member of the family. Their are 11 members of my family in Florida. She is keeping them for Christmas gifts to give from me. I want to thank your sight for posting such beautiful patterns at no cost so that I can continue crocheting and knitting. I do make things for charity, also. Mittens, hats, baby blankets and baby caps.i am 81 and as long as the Lord leaves me on this earth I will be making items.
That is so beautiful… your family will treasure those items forever
Bless your heart for all you do. Your family has a treasure of a grandma . I never got to meet my grandparents .I think back sometime and wonder what it would have been like. Now I’m a grandmother to 8 of my own.God bless you.
I have 2 grand sugars and treasure every minute I get with them!!
Hi I made a pair of these. They are beautiful but I found them too small for me. How do I adjust pattern to make slightly larger?
I would just go up a hook size…
I would like to thank you for your beautiful free patterns. I am going to make the amazing grace fingerless gloves for my granddaughter who was diagnosed with leukemia in August 2014. I have crocheted a beanie cap, slouch hat, scarf and now she will have gloves. Again thank you so very much.
I am so happy they are something you would use!!
I am wondering if these can be made in a worsted weight yarn. I made my sister an Amazing Grace Blissful Beanie in I Love This Yarn Navy and would love to make her a pair of these to go with it.
I have the same question, about the worsted weight yarn? Would I use an appropriate size needle for the ww? How would this change the size? My sister fighting cancer has very cold hands in the even in summer/fall would like to make a lighter pair! Thanks! Sue
If you switch to WW, the glove will be smaller and lacier… So you would have to use a smaller hook to make it warmer,,, But then you would have to add stitches… I don’t have sizing provided on this pattern because it is free, so you will have to play a bit with it to see what happens…
I wanted a pair to match the hat that is made with worsted weight yarn and an H (5mm) hook. I increased the initial chain to 28 (note that the pattern is multiples of 3 plus 1), which increases the number of single crochets from 21 to 27 and chain 2 spaces and 3dc clusters from 7 to 9. I also added two more sets of rows 4 and 3 before the thumb space row and one more set after. I followed all instructions otherwise. I ended up with gloves that, on me, fall on the same places on the arm and hand as the reference picture. My gloves came out to 10 inches long and almost 9 inches around on the outside. I used Lion Brand Heartland yarn.
Hi I was wondering would it be easy enough to add a cuff to these fingerless gloves ?
Yes… if you like a cuff go ahead and add
Hello ,
I am confused with row 3. it says:
“Row 3: Sl St into the 1st Ch 2 Space, Ch 3 (Counts as Dc now and throughout), 3 Dc in the next Ch 2 Space and each Ch 2 space around. Join with Sl St to top of Ch 3. = 7 – 3 Dc shells”.
Shouldn’t there be 2 DC after the Ch 3 in order to make a shell? …..If I follow the original instruction I only see 6 – 3 Dc shells, not 7. If I add 2 Dc after the Ch 3 I get 7-3 DC shell.
Am I missing something?
Yes you are correct. all fixed
Thank you much Beatrice!
