So, I invented these:

Neat, huh?
Materials:
Any worsed weight yarn will do. I used Lion Brand Wool Ease. The amount you need varies by hand size, and by how long you want to make your gloves.
J hook.
Directions
This is kind of a free pattern, just to make sure you get gloves that look like how you want them too and fit like you need them too. So, I won't be terribly exact with anything. TRY ON YOUR GLOVES WHILE YOU MAKE THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY FIT!
Make two.
Measure around the middle of your forearm. Subtract half an inch. Remember this number for later.
To make the wrists: Make a chain as long as you want the gloves to go down your arm. About fifteen or twenty chains will do it, but you can make it longer or shorter if you like. Now, sc blo until the cloth you're making is as long as the measurement we took at the beginning. Sl st the two ends together to make a tube.
To make the palms: Sc around the top of the tube, *ch 1, sc around, join row with sl st*, repeat from *s six more times. You may need to alter the amount of rows if you're making it for bigger/smaller hands.
To make the thumb hole: Ch 1, sc around, but STOP eight stitches from the end. Ch 5, then sl stitch the chain to the end of the row.
To cover your knuckles: *ch 1, sc around, join row with sl st* three times. Sl st around once to finish. Weave in ends.

Re: Awesome!
Girl bass player, ey? Electric, string bass, or both?November 6 2006, 00:40:30 UTC 5 years ago
Re: Awesome!
Electric bass for jazz, upright bass for classical. I'm primarily a cellist but in a symphonic setting, playing a string bass is so much more fun... it's such a powerful instrument.October 16 2007, 01:35:43 UTC 4 years ago
someone pointed me in this direction today when i was lamenting my cold office and voicing a need for something i could use to keep my hands warm, but keep my fingers free for typing.

I found a link to these on crochet pattern central. I play glass wind instruments at ren faires. I think i'm going to make a pair for myself out of some naturel fiber so they go with my wardrobe. thank you for the pattern. :)February 23 2008, 21:03:04 UTC 4 years ago
I'm rather new to crochet, so I'm going to ask a n00b-type question: What does sc blo mean?
Thanks!

Cool pattern!
Thanks for sharing this pattern! I'm excited to try it. I also found it from Crochet Pattern Central. And though I've been doing basic crocheting for years, I've never learned the abbreviations or how to use patterns. So I'm wondering, what does it mean to ch 1? I know ch stands for chain, but is that like adding a stitch to make it wider the next time around? Or does it mean to loop the yarn around the hook before doing the next stitch? Sorry for my ineptitude. Any help is greatly appreciated!
