Hi Keva, dc is the abbreviation for a double crochet. If it says 5 dc then you are to make 5 double crochet stitches into the indicated stitch. Here is the link to the picture tutorial: How to Crochet: Double Crochet Stitches (dc) and here is link on How to Read Crochet Patterns if you need it.

I love this pattern. I decided to “test” the pattern to make sure I was doing it right with some scrap light worsted yarn (from a baby blanket). I was wondering if anybody has made theirs longer, like above the elbow? I want to make them so that I can wear them under t-shirts to create a layered look but without the bulk of actually wearing 2 shirts. I think I’ll make them in 2 different yarn weights so I can have some light for spring and fall but some thicker for winter.

Rachel, you are a lifesaver! I have searched for a pattern for fingerless gloves but I always find ones that are too bulky, fancy, punk-looking or complicated for me. These are easy but beautiful. I like that they have a lacyness but they aren’t so lacy that I would fear getting them caught on something.

Hi Rachel. Glad I found you. The article on splitting yarn was very useful. That yarn has a grain or a bias never dawned on me. So now I know to check which way my yarn is twisted. Also thanks for crochet pattern of the aurimigum? I am going to make it for my granddaughter so she has a special friend. Also downloaded the shell Lace fingerless gloves. They are beautiful. I am going to make them in black.

These gloves are so cute! They are exactly what I was searching for. I made mine in navy red heart yarn with a size ‘I’ hook. They came out thicker which will be perfect for the winter. tks again!

Hey Erin,
your assumption is correct! Just do more rows past 30. Depending which end you want your ribbing on, you may want to do it before the first row or at the end of the last row.

Rachel:

How would I make them longer up the wrists? And then add a ribbing? I love this pattern! I have been looking for this for three days across the interwebs/internet/worldweb! It’s beautiful.

Any advice would be appreciated. I am assuming that I continue past the 30 count, but my favorite lit professor has a great saying about assumptions…

Thanks!

Erin

Hi Tina! Are talking about finger holes? If so, you can crochet them separately and sew them on.
