Bubble Gum Hand Warmers

Fingerless gloves, or wrist warmers in the form of a glove, are essential items in my life. A must have. And since the Valentine's Day is again around the corner, I thought I would keep going with pinks and reds for a couple of weeks.
This time I used a "stretchy" pattern (= front post/back post double crochets) for a cuff part, and lacy pattern for the hand part. And what I got are very textured wrist warmers/gloves.

You are most welcome to make these for non-crocheting people - either for profit or as a gift or a donation. I hope you will enjoy crocheting these wrist warmers, and of course, there is a video to go with this free pattern as well if you have problems reading the written pattern:

Step-by-Step

Make 2 fingerless gloves

CUFF

Foundation - ch37, join

Rnd 1           ch2 (counts as dc), then 1 dc into next 35 consecutive ch sts, join (total 36 sts)
Rnd 2-10      ch2 (counts as dc), then *[1 fpdc, 1 bpdc]* - 17x; then 1 fpdc, join to ch2  (total 36 sts)


PALM PART

Rnd 11         ch1, 1 sc into same st,  then skip 2 sts, *[shell into 3rd st, skip 2 sts, 1 sc into third st, skip 2 st]* - 5x; then shell into 3rd st, skip 2 sts, join into sc at the beginning of the row  

Rnd 12        ch5, then skip 2 sts, *[1 sc into 3rd st (=top of the shell), ch2, skip 2 sts, 1dc into sc between the shells, ch2, skip 2 sts]* - 5x; then 1 sc into 3rd st (=top of the shell), ch2, skip 2 sts, join into 3rd chain of ch5 at the beginning of the row

Rnd 13         ch1, 1 sc into same st,  then skip 2 sts, *[shell into 3rd st (= into sc st from prev row), skip 2 sts, 1 sc into third st (= into dc st from prev row), skip 2 st]* - 5x; shell into 3rd st (= into sc st from prev row), skip 2 sts, 1 sc into the same st as 1st sc st at beginning, turn - you will crochet on the WS

Row 14         (WS) -  ch5, then skip 2 sts, *[1 sc into 3rd st (=top of the shell), ch2, skip 2 sts, 1dc into sc between the shells, ch2, skip 2 sts]* - 5x; then 1 sc into 3rd st (=top of the shell), ch2, skip 2 sts, 1 dc into sc, turn - you will crochet on the RS

Row 15         (RS) - ch1, 1 sc into same st,  then skip 2 sts, *[shell into 3rd st (= into sc st from prev row), skip 2 sts, 1 sc into third st (= into dc st from prev row), skip 2 st]* - 5x; shell into 3rd st (= into sc st from prev row), skip 2 sts, 1 sc into 3rd chain of ch5 (counting from the shell), turn - you will crochet on the WS

Row 16         (WS) - same as Row 14
Row 17        (RS) - same as Row 15
Row 18        (WS) - same as Row 14

Rnd 19        (RS) - ch1, 1 sc into same st,  then skip 2 sts, *[shell into 3rd st (= into sc st from prev row), skip 2 sts, 1 sc into third st (= into dc st from prev row), skip 2 st]* - 5x; shell into 3rd st (= into sc st from prev row), skip 2 sts, 1 sc into 3rd chain of ch5 (counting from the shell), join (into 1st sc at the beginning of the row) - from now on you will crochet on the RS

Rnd 20       (RS) - same as Row 12
Rnd 21       (RS) - same as Row 11

Note: Most of the time I work as fast as I can to keep up with knitting and crocheting requests. I have to videotape, edit videos, then convert them & upload them to my channel. After that often I post on my blog patterns. I answer many questions, which means that often I work up to 16 hours a day. I would tremendously appreciate IF anyone of you who finds an error in the written pattern, so please, let me know - where (what rows) and what may be the problem. Many future knitters & crocheters from our artsy and crafty virtual world will thank you for your good deed, including myself.
