Mountain Reflection Unisex Fingerless Gloves
Fingerless gloves are perfect for driving and texting (just not at the same time!). The crochet pattern is available for free and the fingerless gloves are made using the tapestry crochet technique. If you’ve never done this technique before, this is a great little pattern to learn from. Make a pair for yourself and a few extras for quick Christmas gifts!
This crochet pattern is free and includes these fingerless gloves features:
- Written instructions with a graph for easy reference – perfect for visual learners.
- Tips for keeping your tapestry crochet stitches in line, which is super important.
- A blank graph so you can design your own gloves, if you’re not feeling the mountain theme.
I’d love to see your versions of this crochet pattern so feel free to tag me if you make a pair of these fingerless gloves! @nineinspired on IG & Tiktok and @nineinspiredblog on Pinterest and Facebook

Notes
The wristband of the glove is worked in rows. The band is then slip stitched together to form a circle and the rest of the glove is worked in rounds.
The pattern on the gloves is the same on the front and the back so there is no need for separate instructions for the left and right glove. Both gloves have the same thumbhole placement.
Color Changes: When you have 2 loops of your hook from the last dc of the current color, draw up a loop from the new color to pull through the 2 loops and finish the dc, then sl st to the next square and complete it as normal with the new color.
Tapestry Crochet: To ensure straight lines and a clear pattern, work in the blo for the patterned rounds. Always carry your unused yarn along with you by holding it on top of the stitches you are working into. Every so often, gently tug on your unused yarn to keep it taut. Do not pull so hard that your work starts to bunch up.
Wristband
ch 9
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and each other ch across. (8)
Rows 2-30: ch 1, working in blo, sc in each st across. (8)
Hold both ends of the wristband together and sl st through both the 1st and last rows at the same time to form a circle. Turn the band inside out to hide the sl st seam.

Patterned Rounds
You may choose to follow the graph or the written instructions for rounds 3-21.
*Always carry your unused yarn with you, even when it won’t be used in that round to ensure consistency in tension. Do not join after every round, simply work on top of the last rounds stitches in a spiral.*

Graph Notes: Start at the bottom right hand corner and read from right to left, repeat each round twice. Always carry your unused yarn with you, even when it won’t be used in that round, otherwise your gauge will be off. Do not join after every round, simply work on top of the last rounds stitches in a spiral. Round 12 has the thumbhole. It is marked with a dot on the graph. You will need to read the written instructions for that round.
