Dragon Gloves Crochet Tutorial – Free Pattern

Materials Needed:

  • Worsted weight yarn in two colors (main color for gloves and contrasting color for scales)
  • Crochet hook appropriate for your yarn weight
  • Yarn needle
  • Stitch markers

Sizes: Small (Medium, Large)

Abbreviations:

  • ch: chain
  • sc: single crochet
  • hdc: half double crochet
  • dc: double crochet
  • sl st: slip stitch
  • st: stitch

Gloves:

Step 1: Begin by making a foundation chain that will fit comfortably around your wrist. Join with a slip stitch to form a ring. Be sure to leave a long tail for sewing the glove closed later.

Step 2: Work in rounds to create the glove body. Start each round with a ch 1 (does not count as a stitch). Continue working sc stitches in each stitch around until the glove reaches your desired length, typically just past your knuckles. Repeat this for the second glove.

Step 3: Fasten off and weave in ends.

Scales:

Step 1: Using the contrasting color, start with a magic ring.

Step 2: Work the following stitches into the magic ring: (1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc), all in the same ring. This creates a small cluster of stitches.

Step 3: Repeat Step 2 until you have enough clusters to run along the back of the glove, from the wrist to the fingertips.

Step 4: Carefully sew the row of clusters onto the back of each glove using the long tail left from the foundation chain. Make sure the clusters are evenly spaced and form a scale-like pattern.

Finishing:

Step 1: Fold each glove in half with the right sides facing each other. Use the long tail to sew the sides of the gloves closed, leaving a hole for the thumb.

Step 2: Weave in all remaining ends.

Step 3: Turn the gloves right side out and try them on. Adjust the size of the thumb hole if necessary.

Congratulations, you’ve now completed your Dragon Gloves! These whimsical gloves are sure to spark conversations and keep your hands warm all winter long.

Feel free to customize your Dragon Gloves by experimenting with different yarn colors, adding embellishments like buttons or beads, or adjusting the scale pattern to your liking. Enjoy your unique and magical accessory!
