Pattern Description:

This is my first pattern and still my most popular where I sell on Folksy and Etsy. I just love the shell pattern and I wanted a lovely lacy fingerless glove. After knitting a pair in the round to a pattern, I realised it would be even easier in crochet as crochet is perfect for working in the round. I just made it up as I went along and I seem to have come up with an inspired pattern that looks good and is quite easy to do. Maybe not for the complete beginner but if you have basic skills in crochet then you should find this quick and fun to work up.

Please note this pattern uses English names for crochet stitches but I also include US names in brackets after every stitch notation.
