Whether you're crocheting a pair of crochet gloves for kids or for an adult, the patterns in this collection might actually have you looking forward to cold weather so you have more of a reason to break them out.

With the options below, you'll be able to choose whichever kind you like best or think would fit best with your own style preferences. Once you master a few of these patterns, you can also mix and match preferred styles for a customized pair you'll really love.

What a great book! Long, short, big little, thick or thin, you will find it in here! I don't understand the need to leave a post that states you like gloves instead! That's fine but why post it? I am sure ppl don't leave a comment in a cat magazine saying they don't like cats. These are all lovely and I thank you for it!

I like fingerless gloves while doing projects I have to "feel" my way through it. Otherwise I like a full glove.

I only like fingerless gloves for when I am going fine handwork that requires more dexterity. Otherwise, I go with typical gloves or mittens.

I prefer traditional gloves and mittens since my hands are almost always cold. I do like fingerless gloves when I am crocheting and my hands are cold. 0

I like traditional mittens best, but would like to try fingerless gloves one of these days. It gets so cold where I live, I'd like a fingerless glove pattern that had a pull-over mitten end... like the store-bought pair I got for my daughter.
