They’re also a great chance to try out techniques like colorwork, since they’re small and you don’t have to stress too much about messing it up. Ripping back a crochet fingerless glove is, after all, so much less painful than ripping back something like a garment!

If you have a healthy yarn stash, you probably won’t even need to buy new yarn to make these crochet fingerless gloves. They require smaller amounts of yarn, which also make them great gifts.

    Any updates on when the patterns will be loaded? I was hoping before winter ended, guess will have them ready for next winter season if the patterns are ever loaded.

  2. Sarah Celani

    How long does it take to upload the patterns ? I can see the sane reply since mid October ( for other patterns ) but nothing’s been uploaded as yet . Is this a joke ?

  3. Bobbe Kinney

    The first comment was on December 19th. Today is January 16th. There is still no link to the patterns. What gives 4 weeks?

    How do you get the class
