Pathways Fingerless Gloves| Free Crochet Pattern | Cozy Crochet

The Pretty Pathways Fingerless Gloves is the third pattern I have designed using this stitch pattern and pairs nicely with the matching cowl and beanie. Matching sets are my favorite to wear and give as gifts because they look great worn together or separately.

Let’s keep in touch!

You can find me on Instagram, facebook, Ravelry and Pinterest! I am always pinning free patterns and would love for you to follow me!

PATTERN NOTES:

• This is an advanced pattern that is written in US terms.
• ch 1 does not counts as a stitch.
• This pattern is worked from the bottom up.
• When joining each round, I used the invisible join method.
• Rounds 4 & 6 will be worked into the FLO of 2 rounds below.
• The Pretty Pathways Fingerless Gloves is written in size small with large in (brackets).
• All even rounds (following round 3) will be worked into the FLO of 2 rounds below (described below).
• Due to the nature of this stitch pattern, it is important not to make the sl st(s) too tight. If you are a tight crocheter, I would suggest going up a hook size for a looser fit, or just use a larger hook for the sl st rounds so that these rounds don’t pull in the gloves too much.
• I when changing colors I dropped the non working yarn and carried the colors up each round.

GAUGE:

Body – 10 st x 10 rows = 2″ in pattern (rounds 2-11)
Cuff- 10 sc x 10 rows = 2″

Pattern Inspiration:

I love cozy crochet sets and the Pretty Pathways Fingerless Gloves are a nice addition to the Beanie and Cowl. I had just enough yarn left over from the two skeins to make these gloves. If I can create a whole set from the same skeins of yarn, I am a very happy crocheter!

Yarn used and alternative suggestions:

The yarn used to crochet the Pretty Pathways Fingerless Gloves is from Smiley Goose Handmade and was very nice to work with. You can find more information about the yarn by visiting the Smiley Goose Handmade Etsy shop.
Some alternative yarn brands used by my testers that matched gauge closely were Loops and Threads SugarSpun and Lionbrand Mandala Ombre. It is important to use a fairly stretchy yarn when meeting gauge, because the gloves are designed to stretch to the sizes mentioned above. There are also notes below if you prefer to alter the gloves making a different size than in the pattern.

Matching sets are a favorite of mine. You can view the matching Pretty Pathways Beanie and Cowl pattern by clicking the photos below.

Special Stitches and Stitch Placement:

FLO in 2 rounds below: After you have completed R3 (or any sl st round), turn the top of your work towards you slightly (to see the top of your stitches). Work into the FLO of 2 rounds below (this would be round 2, or any even numbered round.) NOTE: You are not working into the odd numbered (sl st) rounds. If you are alternating colors every round, when working the FLO of two rounds below you will always be working into the CC color.

Invisible Join: Finish crocheting your last stitch before joining to first st. Remove hook from loop. Insert hook from back to front into first st of round. Pull loop (from last stitch) through first st.
