Icicle Drop Stitch Fingerless Gloves Free Crochet Pattern

Hello Everyone!

Today is now the first day of my 2021 10 days of giving pattern blowout! I’d like to take a moment right away to remind everyone that for the month of November when you sign up for my Patreon at $6 you’ll not only have access to all 10 pdf versions of the patterns being published this month but also a bonus addition of the 3 sweaters I had published last month.

The theme of this years 10 days of giving is Presents for this years holiday season. I know that funds are still pretty tight for many people this year so we’re focusing on making affordable presents. For those of you who have the spare time and money though I still encourage you to donate any extra items you’ve made throughout the year or make some extra this holiday season. Some great places to donate to are schools, hospitals, homeless shelters, women’s shelters, and churches.

Today’s pattern is a pair of fingerless gloves that make a lovely icicle pattern perfect for winter and we carry up the colors instead of tying off to save you (and me) from spending all day weaving in ends.

This post will contain affiliate links. This means if you make a purchase through some of my links I will receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only link to products I personally use and would purchase again.

Before we go…

As always I hope you all enjoyed today’s pattern, it works up super quickly and I love the effect this stitch pattern makes especially with highly contrasting yarns. Tomorrow There will be a matching headband being released and I plan on a matching hat coming out during this pattern blowout as well. This set could be a great present this holiday season.
