Crochet "Duchess" Gloves
Crochet Fingerless Gloves to Match the Duchess Shawl
FREE PDF pattern for crochet fingerless gloves. Step-by-step tutorial, beautiful design, with added satin ribbon or without.
Description
These crochet fingerless gloves with lace pattern are a part of the set which consists of the “Duchess” Shawl together with this piece of autumn accessory.
The gloves are crocheted from the same material as the shawl. The main pattern consists of double crochet stitches, while the central motif is one of the lacy patterns used on the shawl.
Upper and lower edges are done with single crochet stitches and the last round with picots. Picots add to their elegance and make them even a bit romantic.
They are decorated with a satin ribbon, which is one more delicate touch. However, even without the ribbon the gloves look sophisticated and the selection of stitches is very effective.

Crochet lace
When I was thinking about how to start these fingerless gloves, which would be a part of the set with my Duchess Shawl, the only option was to incorporate one of the lace crochet stitches from the shawl itself into this project.
The gloves are worked from the wrist to the fingers and in the rounds. The palm part consists of double crochet stitches, while the upper one is a lace pattern with 3 groups of 4dc separated by chains in the middle. The thumb opening is completed separately from the rest of the piece.
level - intermediate
To crochet Duchess fingerless lace gloves, you will need intermediate knowledge of crocheting in the rounds and joining with a slip stitch. The stitches in this design are single crochet, double crochet, chain and picot. Also, you should be familiar with back-loop crochet.

Rnds 2 and 3 – sc around (=32sts)
The 3rd round can be worked with (3sc, picot), like for the thumb and other fingers. Duchess Gloves in grey colour have the lower edge with picots, unlike the ones made from golden yarn.
If you like ribbons, you can pull satin laces through shells and tie them like you would tie shoe laces. However, the lacy part of the gloves is already very pretty so it will be more prominent without any decoration.
