Juliet Gloves

Juliet Fingerless Gloves

Hi! I’m Nizzy. I’m an autistic British student (despite me being British, this pattern uses US terms), and outside of studying, I do a lot of crochet and puppetry. I also voice act in a podcast called Death At A Low Price. My mum taught me to crochet about 3 years ago, and now it’s rare that a day goes by without a hook in my hand. I’m pretty new to designing and writing my own patterns, but I think it’s so cool how someone else could create something that came out of my head. You can find me on both Instagram and Facebook as @NizzyCrafts.

Yarn:

1 ball of Stylecraft Special 4ply Lavender (100% acrylic, 100g/422m)

or about 120m/130 yards of another fingering weight yarn.

A 3mm hook

Tapestry needle

After the first 5 rounds, when laid flat, the gloves should measure 9cm/3 ½ inches across, and 6.5cm/2 ½ inches in height at the longest point.
