Shell Stitch Fingerless Gloves Pattern | Free Crochet Pattern

When you need to keep your hands warm, but still need your fingers to be free, there is nothing more practical than fingerless gloves.

This free crochet pattern will allow you to make your own pair that are more than just practical - they are pretty too!

They use my most favourite of shell stitches; the open scallop stitch. This crochet pattern also has corresponding crochet patterns that you can make to create a colder weather set of accessories.

Both the Wheelwright infinity scarf and the matching beanie pattern use the open scallop stitch - click here to see the details of the pattern bundle of all 3 patterns.

This pattern is worked using worsted/aran weight yarn, so even with it's open stitch fabric, it still will keep your hands toasty and those fingers free to type, or crochet.
