These Victorian style fingerless gloves are lacy, but will still keep your wrists and hands warm in cool weather. The pattern includes a thumb hole, and a delicate tie to snug them around your wrists.

Working in the 3rd loop of an hdc: Look at the top of the stitch, and locate the sideways “V”, bend the stitch to look at the back, and you should see another “V” made by the “yarn over”. You’ll be working into the back loop of that “V”, this is the yarn over and is called the 3rd loop.

Additional Notes:
-ch 1 at beginning of round does not count as a stitch.
-This wrist warmer should fit the average woman’s hand. You may be able to adjust the size a little but by going up or down a hook size.
-Your seam should run straight along the thumb-hole side of the glove. Your left and right hand glove pattern is the same.
-If you don’t want the tie at the top of the fingerless mitt, skip to round 4 after you work the beginning chain.
