Oh my Herringbone Crochet Fingerless Gloves! I love this stitch and now I can make fingerless gloves with it. This pattern is so well written and easy to understand and it's right here on this page. I'm happy to see there is a pattern for three different sizes so I don't have to figure it out. Thank you! These are a must make in my book. The fabric made with this stitch will be so warm and needed in the North. I also have to say that I just found the print tab under the more tab. Thank you, thank you for sharing this free crochet pattern.
