What Stitch Creates the Scale Texture in These Crochet Gloves?
This crochet gloves pattern is worked with a crocodile stitch that lends it a marvelous look reminiscent of dragon scales. It’s a technique that may require some practice and patience at the beginning, but the efforts are certainly worth it. You work the crocodile stitch mostly with double crochets around the posts of the V-stitches.
Can Beginners Try This Pattern or Is It Advanced?
Crocheters with intermediate experience can go for this crochet dragon fingerless glove pattern without hesitation. It will make a perfect chance for you to practice crochet techniques such as granny stitch, picot stitch, and crocodile stitch mentioned above.
Thanks to the step-by-step video tutorial included by the designer, this pattern can also be completed by ambitious beginners.
What Type of Yarn Works Best for Dragon Gloves?
Be sure to employ medium-weight acrylic yarn that will guarantee a warm texture without too much heaviness.
Self-striping cake yarn like Red Heart Unforgettable will help you achieve glamorous color transitions, taking the dragon-scale design to a whole new level. To make a pair in a standard women’s size, you will need just one ball (270 yards).
How Can I Resize These Crochet Gloves?
To adjust the size of these crochet fingerless mitts, you’ll need to modify either the number of stitches in the foundation round, the number of scales, or possibly the number of rounds.
For length, simply repeat more or fewer scale rounds until it reaches the desired measurement. You can also adjust the length of the granny stitch wrist section in the same way.
