Dragon Tears Fingerless Gloves Crochet Pattern
This Dragon Tears fingerless gloves pattern is one of my most loved designs. I love how customizable these gloves are, and how quickly they work up, too! Make them shorter or longer, and use a solid color yarn or a gradient yarn like I have here.
This gradient yarn is Stroll Gradient (discontinued), a fingering weight yarn that works up absolutely beautifully! Since these yarn cakes have so much yardage, it is easy to get at least 2 (possibly 3) pairs of gloves from just TWO cakes.
This gloves pattern was originally published in 2016, and has been completely reworked and updated as of 2022. There are now many more instructional photos, and the pattern has been streamlined to fit with my pattern writing style I have developed over the years. I hope you love this updated pattern just as much as I do – or more!
To get started on your very own pair, you’ll want to head on over to Ravelry, Etsy, or the Heart Hook Home blog shop! I also have a video tutorial for the Crocodile Stitch, should you need it.
Wanna save this for later?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it when you're ready.

P.S. I used just ONE skein for the two gloves pictured below. I did control the colors, which is the Mandala from Lion Brand, in color: Chimera.

Hi , I was wondering which yarn and color the top pair of dragon fingerless gloves is, it is the pair at the top of page and has the blues and a little bit of yellow brown orange color in it thank you so much
Hi! That was Stroll Gradient yarn from WeCrochet in the the Camper Van colorway…unfortunately it looks like that particular color is no longer available, but they do have other color options that would look amazing.
I bought the pattern & I’m trying to make these but I see in the pic your dragon tears are spread out. Mine are right behind each other. Can you explain in the pattern how you do it?
Never mind. I got it via your extra tutorial. Thank you for pattern. 🙂
Glad you got it figured out! Happy crocheting!
I just realized my previous comment was nipped down to my last question – oops. I love your pattern, I bought it last year and just love making these! It was very easy to follow once I learned the crocodile stitch 🙂
I love your pink, green, gray, etc. pair and was hoping to make a set, so I was wondering what yarn you used to make those. Thank you for creating such a beautiful pattern!!!
What yarn did you use for the pink, gray, green, and purple pair?
This does say it is a free pattern on Marly Birds Facebook page. You might correct that if it is indeed not free!
These are on Marley’s free fingerless mittens and says get the free pattern here. I tapped and it leads me to here which there is no pattern, not free, find no coupon code either.
The pattern was extremely easy to follow. I have already made two pairs. I would like to send a picture to you of one of the pairs I have made, where do I send that to???
Hi Heidi! I would love to see them! You can send a photo to me on the Heart Hook Home facebook page or to ashlea@hearthookhome.com
hello there! I bought the pattern for these gloves but I am stuck at the thumb hole (I’m a beginner) The pattern calls for 12 clusters but I have 14 including the Ch 3 and 2dc in same sp at the beginning and the two 3dc clusters in the chain 6 thumb hole. Do some of these not count as clusters?
I bought the pattern but I don’t have size 3 yarn. I went to buy yarn but I didn’t realize it needed a 4 weight yarn.?
I also bought the pattern and didn’t realize it needed to be size 3 either. Waiting to get some I found size 3 yarn in my stash, except it calls for a 6mm hook so it doesn’t work. I wish I hadn’t wasted my money, I don’t think it’s worth the aggravation. So disappointed.
Hi Debbie! This pattern does use a 3 weight yarn =)
What is the yarn you used for the gray ,white, and black version of the gloves? I purchased the pattern but the yarn I bought is to heavy for Texas I bought the sweet roll yarn.
Hi Pat! That was Yarn Bee Sweet Delights Print in Grey Multi.
Would Red Hearts Unforgettable yarn work for this pattern?
I would likw to try this pattern with the wool you used in the second picture, the white and brown one? What’s it called?

I need help with the thumb hole. I’m a beginner at crochet. It says I should have 12 clusters after the 6 chain for thumb hole. Somehow I ended up with 14. Do you have a video I can watch for the first row of clusters?
Do you have printer versions if your patterns
Hello,
Yes! I do. You can find them here on Ravelry. Thank you!

Do you have a version that does not have the scales on the palm of the glove?
I recently bought your pattern and made my gloves (love, love,love by the way!) How did you not get a seam line running diagonally down the wrist part?
Hello!
I’d love to make these and thinking of getting the pattern, but I’m a beginner and wouldn’t know how to “control the colour” like you say you do. Does the pattern explain how to do this? If not, would you be able to point me to a video that does explain how to?
Hi! There is a tutorial for controlling the colors here: http://hearthookhome.com/how-to-create-planned-yarn-color-transitions-in-crochet/
How do you get the tips of the scales pointed? Mine are round
what skill level are these mitts? also is the pattern easy to understand. I ordered one online and I think it was translated from german. wasn’t clear or easy to follow
I think they are fairly easy once you get the hang of the crocodile stitch. 🙂 This will help! http://hearthookhome.com/how-to-crochet-the-crocodile-stitch/
I am an advanced beginner and I found it difficult to learn the scale stitch, it’s called a crocodile tear stitch and I actually had to take a crochet class at Michaels to learn it (I had a coupon for a free class so that worked out) I just want getting it from the YouTube videos and stuff. That being said with the crochet instructor it only took me about 5 min to learn the stitch and about a day and a half to make the gloves and keep in mind that’s working on them bits and pieces throughout the day.
The pattern is very easy to read
Also I recommend trying them on as you’re working them because I had to adjust the pattern a bit, I only did 6 rows of scales and I had to do an extra decrease because even with the 2 decreases in the smaller size they were still a little big for my taste
Love these! Sadly, I can only knit, but my mom is a crocheter! She is going to make them for me 🙂
YAY! Keep me posted!
Hi Ashley, I love this pattern and want to make them for my daughter. I bought it through PayPal on 01/31 but never got the PDF. Will you resend it to my email? Thanks so much! Janny
I purchased the pattern and pressed return to merchant but I cannot find anywhere to download the pattern.
I have the exact same problem.
I have sent it to Wilma. Jodu have you emailed me? I can send it via email as a PDF.
What kind of stitch did you use for these besides the crocodile stitch?
Hi! It is the double crochet.
I would love this pattern!
Hi, I love this pattern. What is size 3 yarn? 3 ply yarn, less bulky than 4 ply worsted? Also, what size hooks are used? Thank you.
Hi! I am currently making another pair using sock yarn (a little thinner than 3) and they are working up beautifully! I also use a G hook.
How long would it take if I ordered a pair of fingerless gloves today for them to come? In time for Christmas? I need two pair in sizes small and medium. How do you like to be paid?
Hi,
I can’t find the pattern to these gloves?
Hello! Can you shoot me an email and I’ll look into it? ashlea729@gmail.com, thank you!
Do you have a dragon tears hat/scarf pattern?
No, not yet! But that is an excellent idea. I’ll get to work!
Where i can find the download?
Hello! I can send it to you via email. Can you send me your info to ashlea729@gmail.com? Thank you
How much do you sell these for. Size M
Hello! I can do a pair for $25, plus shipping.
Hi Nikki!
Sorry about that, I can refund you the second charge. And, I can either send you the PDF via email or on Ravelry, up to you!
Thank you
Which ever is easiest for you I have a Ravelry. My email is nikkiandrus410@gmail.com and just let me know what you need for my Ravelry.
Thanks!!
Do you sell these gloves?
I can, what size are you needing?
Interested…do you sell the gloves in children sizes as well? Would be interested in 2 child size pairs and 1 adult size.
Hi! Unfortunately, I just sell the patterns now…not finished products. If you’d like, you can send me and email or facebook message and I can refer you to someone who can. =)
Hello! I don’t have any emails from you in my inbox, just this comment at 3:00 am. Strange! But, I have sent you an email. We’ll get it sorted out.
Thanks!
Hmmm, the email I sent to you was returned as undeliverable. It starts with lindsithcarter, is that correct?
No it’s lindssmithcarter@hotmail.com must have been autocorrect mucking about. Sorry for that x
Ah! Got it. Do you have a Ravelry account? I can send it to you there so it is in your library.
Thank you so much x
Can you tell me the brand and color of the yarn used on the grey and white pair.
Hi! I used the Baby Bee from Hobby Lobby. I can email you a photo of it if that would help?
A picture, or the color number or name would be very helpful. 🙂
It is Hobby Lobby, Baby Bee Sweet Delights, in Grey Multi. I could have used one skein, but I bought two so that I could better control the colors. Hope that helps!
I can’t find gray multi on the hobby lobby site, is there any place else that sells it or another name for it. Specifically looking for the grey/white that you used
I’m not sure that it can be found anywhere else. 🙁 Do you have a store nearby that you could call and request it? The color is called Grey Multi. I’m sorry I’m not more help!
