This is a very pretty pattern and a chance for me to use up some of that sock yarn I bought on clearance! The instructions are fairly clear, but there arent any photos and that can be a problem. This pattern is available from the Leisure Arts website, but there is a $3.99 charge. I have no idea if it contains more information than this post does alone.

I need help. Don't understand the thumb hole inst for row 2 3 of thumb hole. My thumb hole looks terrible. ALSO not clear if the cuff attaches to where I was crocheting OR if I have to turn the lace part around and attach cuff to my original fsc. Please help

These hand warmers are so striking! After reading the comments below I felt a bit daunted but fortunately I did not have any problems at all with the instructions and the finished fingerless gloves look just lovely in the blue that is my daughters favorite color. I agree that the Easy rating may be a little misleading but other than that I find the pattern just fine. In fact I am about to make myself a pair as well.

I don't think this pattern should be marked as 'easy', it is not the easiest of instructions to follow and like others I struggled with the cluster, I assume that as you are using dc in that round then it is a dc cluster which I did and it seemed to work out well. On the positive side it is good to come across a pattern with sizing for those of us that have smaller than average hands as I often make wrist warmers and find them too big and struggle to adapt the pattern to make them smaller.

CLUSTER????? Description of "cluster" A Cluster is ANY COMBINATION of stitches each worked to the last step and joined together at the top. Clusters can be worked all in the same stitch or space across several stitches or spaces." So now that I'm sitting here on the computer instead of being in front of my crochet of a foundation row slip stitched together without twisting AND I CAN NOT GO ANY FURTHER since I don't know what stitches/combination of stitches are being used in the CLUSTER of this pattern. Beautiful Mitts but I can't make them with insufficiant pattern information. I'll have to find someone who can look at the picture and decipher what are in the clusters.

Once again I don't understand all the confusion. It took me right to the directions and they were very clear. One little tip, if you come across an abbreviation that you do not understand, google it. Just put in, what does xxx mean in crotchet? It will tell you and usually send you to a tutorial. It's as simple as that. I have been crocheting for 50 years and I still come across some I never heard.

I've been crocheting for 20 years less than you so let me explain some confusion. (Cluster, ch 3, Cluster)....Since you have 50 years of experience, maybe you can tell me what stitches, or combination of stitches, are being used in this pattern. Got the FSC completed and slip stitched together and now I sit with a little circle of yarn with no place to go from here. I'm using alpaca so I'm not happy that I can't go any further. I guess I could use some random stitches in a cluster, but that should throw off any kind of sizing and gauge. Plus, I don't create patterns, that's what this site is for. LOL

It doesn't say on the pattern how many chains to make for the starting foundation chain it does say how many Fsc to do for the different sizes, so are we to assume that the starting chain has one more chain, i.e. 33, 41, 49 chains, so we can start the Fsc on the second chain from the end of the starting chain? Or is there some other way to make a Fsc row that I'm not aware of? Also, there no description of the various stitches that will be used and how to do them, e.g. "cluster" and the "front half doubles" and "back half doubles" . It'd be nice not to have to google YouTube to figure them out. Thanks.

Hi dashbrdld, The foundation single crochet stitch is a stitch that is essentially the foundation row+first row of crochet. So, if it says to fsc 32, then 32 is your starting number. There's a foundation stitch tutorial on the site that might help: http://www.allfreecrochet.com/Tutorials/Foundation-Crochet-Stitch

Looking through the pattern.... not sure what is meant by Fsc? The sc is single crochet I presume, but what is Fsc? It might be helpful to have the stitches used in the pattern listed at the top of the page for us beginners who need a little help in pattern reading. Thank you! )

Fsc is foundation single crochet. You can find a tutorial on youtube on how to.

What is a cluster mean in this pattern ( cluster ch 3 cluster) please help
cmorrison10 393000 3
Feb 01, 2015
It's not very clear is it? I think the cluster is (dc, ch2, dc), so for (cluster ch 3 cluster) you would (dc ch2 dc, ch3, dc ch2 dc).

I looked on Youtube and put in "how to crochet a cluster stitch", and it was most helpful.

I've been crocheting for over 40 years and this is the most complicated fingerless mittens I've ever come across! The "easy" rating is wrong, and how do they keep you warm with the "lace"? All the pop-up ads make the site sloppy and a hassle to try to find what you're looking for.

If you want this pattern you have to click where it says 'click here for crochet pattern', once there go to the link under the book & click it. After you download the book, the pattern is on page 5, it's the 1st pattern in the book, it's called 'chunky v's lace mitts' in the book. Hope this helps.

I clicked on the link above, get the pattern, then on the left side, chose Crochet. But from there was lost, as there were more than one e-book to choose from and download. I did successfully down load one, however it did not have the pattern for these gloves.

Hi, after you click 'get this pattern' & the next page shows up try clicking under the book on right side. It should ask if you want to download the pdf file. If that doesn't work let me know & I will try to copy & paste the pattern for you.
