Fingerless Gloves - Free Pattern and Fun and Easy Crochet Tutorial

J/6.00  mm Crochet Hook
3.5oz of Bulky Yarn

Scissors

Yarn Needle

Gauge: 4" x 4" Square is 12 stitches wide and 7 1/2 rows tall.

Glove Uncuffed is 10" long and 4" wide

Note:At the end of each row "chain one loosely and turn" is implied unless told otherwise.

This is for a medium set of gloves. If you want larger then add an additional 2 rows of HDC. I had enough yarn leftover from the 3.5 oz to do this so you should not need to buy more.

Create the Body of your Gloves

Chain 27,
Row 1 HDC in third chain from the hook. HDC in each stitch across (25)
Row 2-15 HDC in each stitch across (25)

Turn your work and single crochet one time into the side of each row (15-19), 

Sew up the sides of your gloves

Fold your work in half, right sides together. 

"Sew" them together with a single crochet in the first 5 stitches. 

(what we do next with form the thumb hole)
Single Crochet in the next five stitches on only one side of the glove (not sewing the two layers together. 

Then proceed to sew the glove together with single crochet stitches in the last 15 stitches

Fasten off. 

Turn the glove right side out. Make a two inch cuff on the bottom of the glove and enjoy!

Repeat the pattern for a second glove.

Let me know if you have any questions?

These are very versatile. They can be adorned with bows, buttons, ribbons...the possibilities are endless. Tag me on social media so that I can see them if you make them.

Thank you for joining me and I hope that you stay warm and joyful.

Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake in a Bowl

I love making these for myself post-workout! 

PUMPKIN SPICE CHEESECAKE in a BOWL (serves 2)

1 Can of Pumpkin

2 eggs

Put the Eggs and Pumpkin in a saucepan over medium heat stirring constantly until it is warmed up and steaming. Be careful. It can sputter a bit as it warms. 

Lower heat to low and add...

2 Tablespoons of Swerve Granulated Sweetener

1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

1-2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice

1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

Stir well and if you want it super decadent then add:

1 Tablespoon of Heavy Whipping Cream 

Keep stirring until the entire mixture is heated up and let it sit while you stir for 3-5 minutes so that the egg is thoroughly cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly as you are stirring take a moment to mix:

1 cup of Greek yogurt 

1 Tablespoon of Swerve (I sometimes replace this with a squirt of liquid stevia)

Give this a quick stir and divide it evenly into two bowls. 

Top each bowl with half of the cooled pumpkin mixture and stir until you get a pretty pumpkin cheesecake swirl. Enjoy!
