Pattern [Make 2]:
R1 - FSC 23 stitches and join to the first stitch with a SS
R2 - Ch 3, then DC into each stitch around, join to the top of the ch 3 with a SS
R3 - Ch 3, DC in the same stitch, ch1, skip 1 stitch, DC in the next stitch, ch 1, skip 1 stitch, and v stitch into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern all the way around, and finish the row by doing a SS into the top of the of the Ch 3 at the beginning.
R4 - Crocodile stich [Crochet 5 DC around the Ch 3 from the row below, then make 5 DC around the next DC from the row below. SS into the top of the top of the single DC from the row below, repeat this all the way around. It should like the scales shown in the picture above] Finish the round with a SS into the top of the Ch 3. Repeat Rows 3 and 4 until you need an opening for your thumbhole.
Thumbhole - Finish the last scale of your round, instead of doing a SS into the DC below, you will do 9 FSC stitches and SS into the middle of the first scale.
Continue making crocodile stitches, when you get to the FSC stitches, DC into the each stitch. Repeat this until you have as many rows of scales as you desire. I stopped making scales at my wrist.
From the wrist on - When you finish your last scale, SS into the beginning of the thumb hole. Ch 3 and make two more DC in the same space. Skip 3 stitches and make 3 DC in the next space. Repeat this all the way around the glove, putting your 3 DC in between the scales, and at the tops of scales.
For a medium length glove, make 7 of these rows.
When desired length is reached, SC into the top of each DC to make a nice finish. SS into the first stitch. Cut the yarn, and weave in ends.
I hope you like this pattern, and love your new half dragon gloves. If you don't crochet, then order a pair from my shop!
