They feature a unique textured design and a beautiful gradient colorway, which makes them look as if they were taken out of your favorite fantasy books, movies, and games. In fact, this pair will work perfectly as part of a cosplay outfit.
Who Can Try This Pattern?
These gloves are a delightful intermediate-level project. The highlight of these gloves is the crocodile stitch, which resembles dragon scales, adding a touch of fantasy to your winter wear. The pattern’s well-explained instructions and sizing suggestions make it accessible to a variety of crocheters.
What Yarn Weight Works Best for This Pattern?
To achieve the same stunning look, crochet your gloves using lightweight self-striping yarn such as King Cole Riot Double Knitting or Cygnet Boho Spirit.
A DK weight yarn is a perfect choice because it can provide warmth and nice stitch definition without being bulky. The gradient shade palette, on the other hand, will ensure effortlessly gorgeous color transitions like the ones seen in the photos.
Customize Your Gloves – Fit, Color, and Length
The gloves are designed for ladies in an adult medium size, but the designer also provides suggestions for adjustments, so you can get the best fit. By modifying the number of worked rounds, you can also decide how long you want your crochet fingerless mittens to be.
The dragon scale design makes them so fun to customize in terms of color. You can go for vibrant color-changing yarn or try out solid shades like deep green or dark grey that will give off a more realistic look of dragon skin.
