Making the Foundation Chain

To start off, we need to create a foundation chain that will fit around your hand. Here's how you can do it:

1. Work a foundation chain that's long enough to wrap around the palm of your hand. This may vary depending on your hand size.
2. For example, if your hand measures 23 stitches, make a chain of that length.
3. Once you have the chain, slip stitch to join, making sure not to twist the chain.
4. Chain 1 and single crochet in each stitch all the way around.

Single Crocheting the Hand Section

Now that we have the foundation chain, it's time to start working on the main body of the fingerless gloves. Follow these steps:

1. Single crochet in each stitch all the way around.
2. At the end of the row, slip stitch to join.
3. Chain 2 and turn.
4. Double crochet in each stitch around.
5. Remember to turn your work after each row to ensure a neat and flexible finished product.

Double Crocheting the Hand Section

Continuing from the previous step, we will now double crochet in each stitch around and repeat this process until we reach the opening for the thumb. Here's how:

1. Double crochet in each stitch around.
2. At the end of the row, slip stitch to join in the top of the first double crochet.
3. Chain 2 and turn.
4. Double crochet in each stitch around.
5. Repeat this process until you reach the opening for the thumb.

Creating the Thumb Opening

Now, let's focus on creating the thumb opening. Follow these instructions:

1. Chain 2 and turn.
2. Double crochet in the next stitch.
3. Leave an opening of about five stitches by chaining 5 and skipping the next four stitches.
4. In the fifth stitch, make a double crochet.
5. Double crochet in each remaining stitch around.
6. Slip stitch to join at the end of the row.

Finishing the Top Part of the Gloves

With the thumb opening in place, we can now work on the top part of the fingerless gloves. Follow these steps:

1. Chain 2 and turn.
2. Double crochet in each stitch around to form the top part of the gloves.
3. Repeat this process until you've achieved the desired height for your gloves.

Adding the Shell Edging

To give your fingerless gloves a decorative touch, we'll be adding a shell edging. Follow these steps:

1. Single crochet in the same stitch where you slip stitched to join.
2. Skip the next two stitches and make five double crochet in the next stitch.
3. Skip the next two stitches and single crochet in the next stitch.
4. Repeat this pattern all the way around, making adjustments as necessary to ensure a single crochet in the last stitch.

Final Touches and Conclusion

To complete your fingerless gloves, follow these final steps:

1. Slip stitch to join at the end of the row.
2. Fasten off and secure any loose ends.
3. You can also add additional embellishments such as a crocheted flower or bow for extra flair.

Congratulations! You have successfully made a pair of fingerless gloves. These gloves not only keep your hands warm but also allow for full use of your fingers. Whether you're wearing them as a fashion statement or for practical purposes, your handmade fingerless gloves are sure to impress.
