Londie’s Handmade Crochet
Dragon Scale Fingerless Gloves

If you need to adjust the size you can start with a number of chains that is divisible by 6 in order to fit your
hand and have completed scales in the round. The lower part of the gloves can easily by adjust by
decreasing or increasing your number of dc clusters. Using a hook one size larger will give you a larger
size also. I think this pattern is a good place to start and easily adjustable to you. Just have fun with it.
