Recent Finished Projects #3

Hey guys! These past 2 weeks have flown by for me. I've been so busy it's been hard for me to find time to crochet and blog! Sorry about that. You can thank my 5 month old who only sleeps when he feels like it, and my 2 year old who only naps once in a blue moon! I'm exhausted to say the least. 

It's taken me a little longer, but I do have a bunch of new crochet projects to share with you! I've been hooking whenever I can to try and save my sanity.
I also have a lot going on behind the scenes here at The Hippy Hooker. I've been working on a lot of new things, so it may seem like I'm missing for a while, but I'm working harder than ever to make this site what I want it to be! You can expect lots of new free patterns, especially for beginners, and I'm thinking about branching out into other areas as well such as toddler activities (I love to try new things I find on Pinterest!), recipes, weekly free pattern reviews, and way more! I hope you stick around, and don't forget to like me on facebook, follow me on pinterest, and sign up for the newsletter in the sidebar! 


So back to the point of this post... 


Here's what I've been working on:

Deep Sea Fingerless Gloves - Free Crochet Pattern

 Hey there everybody! 

You're probably wondering why I haven't been around much the past few weeks. Well, I've been working on getting myself organized (my blog, house, life in general). My active 2 year old (who refuses to nap!) and 5 month old are keeping me pretty busy as well. 

Of course I wouldn't come back without an awesome free pattern to share! Not only that, but I am also hosting my very first giveaway!! These fingerless gloves were so fun and easy to make, I hope you enjoy how simple the pattern is. They're so fun and quick to make that I'm offering two pairs of Deep Sea Fingerless Gloves for two of my lucky Facebook fans!

Simple Stash Buster Fingerless Gloves Free Pattern!

These fingerless gloves were my attempt to use up some of the pretty sock yarn I had lying around. After organizing my yarn room this past week, I discovered so much more than I thought I had! I loved this green and purple yarn, but I wasn't quite sure what to do with it on its own. So I headed over to my "wall of yarn", chose a light cream color, and got to work!

Fingerless gloves are my go-to pattern right now, they're easy and quick to make. With a bigger hook and simple stitches, you can pop on a tv show and have a pair done in no time!

I've been searching for a quick and easy pattern for some fingerless gloves, and I think I've found it! I made mine in a burnt orange color, and I can't wait to wear them! 

 

Shell Stitch Fingerless Gloves Free Pattern

Fingerless gloves have become a new trend (to me at least) since I started crocheting. They're cute, warm, and don't cover your fingers, so those of you with touch screen phones will still have access without taking your gloves off! 

This pattern is designed with simplicity in mind. It uses only the single crochet, so it's perfect even for complete beginners! I have never made any gloves before these, so I just kind of winged it on how to put them together. Let me know if there is an easier way, as I'm still a beginner myself!

Left Glove 

Ch 32

Row 1: SC in second ch from hook and each ch across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2-4: SC in each stitch across. Ch 1, turn.

Row 5-12: SC in first stitch, *3 SC in next stitch, Skip 2 stitches* Repeat across, ending with 1 SC in last 2 stitches.
Row 13-26: SC in each stitch across. Ch 1, turn.



Assembly 

Bring each side (lengthwise) together, and SC them together the long way until you reach the base of your thumb. Turn it right side out (the seam is on the inside) and try on your glove. It should look a little something like this.

 
Turn it back inside out. Now we will make the thumb hole.
SC down the side closest to you (leaving the other unworked). When you get to the end, join the other side with a slip stitch, creating a hole for your thumb. It might help if you try on the glove as you go, making sure it fits snugly around your hand.

Now working along the top edge of the cuff, do *3 SC, skip next 2 stitches*. repeat around to beginning of row. 
Slip stitch down to the thumb hole.
SC down the edge you didn't SC down earlier. End with a slip stitch at the bottom of the thumb hole and fasten off.

 Ta Da!! You're all done! That wasn't too bad right? I hope the pictures I provided helped some of you, I tend to be a visual learner. I hope you guys post pics of your gloves and don't forget to contact me if you have any questions about the pattern!
