I am discontinuing my website in early September this year, 2021. All my patterns are here on this blog, however the complete pattern isn't posted for all patterns. They have part of the pattern and then the link to my website for the rest of it. 

So if you see a pattern you will like to have the full instructions for, make a comment at the bottom of the page and request the full instructions and I will post it. 

Convertible Mittens / Fingerless Gloves (Crochet)

This is my new Free Pattern!

This pattern is much easier than my previous pattern. 

I have suggestions on how to adjust for larger or smaller sizes. 

This pattern works up quite fast. 

I didn't make a size for men but I would just use this pattern and a larger hook, either 6.00mm or 6.50mm.

My hands are small, a little more than 7 inches around the palm.

So for a larger size, use a 5.50mm (I-9) or 6.00mm (J-10) hook. For a smaller size use a 4.50mm hook.

MATERIALS
Yarn: 3 1/2 oz (100 g)
Hook: 5.00 mm (H-8)

Gauge: 4sts per inch. 4 rows per inch.

Abbreviations used:

st - stitch ch - chain

ss - slip stitch

sc - single crochet

hdc - half double crochet

fpdc - front post double crochet

bpdc - back post double crochet

2sctog - decrease, crochet 2 sc together.

(Add more rnds if necessary for length to base of wearer's fingers)

(Helpful Hint: I have found it easier after attaching yarn for the palm and fingers to weave in the yarn ends as you go so you don't have to turn the mitten inside out and do it after it's finished.)

With darning needle, weave in all ends.

LEFT MITTEN

Work exactly as for the Right Mitten up to the end of Rnd 14.

Hold the mitten/glove so the thumb is to the left, now turn the mitten/glove over to the back. You are working 12 scs along the back of the mitten though the back loops only. This leaves loops along the back for you to begin crocheting the mitten top at the end of the pattern.
