GAUGE: 24 sc = 4 in/10 cm. Take time to check gauge.
ABBREVIATIONS:
beg = beginning; ch = chain; in = inch(es)rep = repeat;
rem = remain(ing); rnd = round; RS = Right Side; sc = single
crochet; sk = skip; sl st = slip stitch; st(s) = stitch(es);
WS = wrong side
Notes:
Left and right gloves are identical except position of conductive filament is reversed.
Directions are written for smaller size. Changes for larger size are in parentheses ( ).
DIRECTIONS
Cuff
With D hook or size needed to obtain gauge, ch 21 (25) to make a cuff that is approximately 3.5 (4) in [9 (10) cm] long.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in ea ch across, turn. – 18 (24) sc.
Row 2 (RS): Ch 1, working in back loop only, sc in each sc across, turn.
Rows 3 – 44 (56): Rep Row 2.
To form cuff, fold beg ch to meet last row worked. Ch 1, insert hook into first st in beg ch and in the first c in last row and join with sc. Rep in ea sc and ch across row.
Do not cut yarn.
Hand
Note: The gloves are made in continuous rounds above the cuff unless otherwise stated.
Rnd 1: Ch 1, work 46 (58) sc into top of cuff. Place split ring marker in first sc. Move marker up with each row worked.
Rnd 2: Sc in ea sc around. – 46 (58) sc Rep Rnd 2 until hand measures 2 (2.5) in [5 (6.25) cm above cuff.
Form Thumb Opening
Next Rnd: 2 sc in first sc, sc in ea sc to last sc, 2 sc in last sc. – 48 (60) sc
Next Rnd: Sc in ea sc around.
Next Rnd: Sc in ea sc to 4 (5) sc before end of rnd, ch 10 (11), pm in 6th ch (this will mark beg of round or thumb when it is completed later), skip last 4 (5) sc.
Next Rnd: Skip first 4 (5) sc, join ch in 5th (6th) sc, sc in ea rem sc and ch around. – 50 (61) sc
Next Rnd: Sc in first sc, sk next sc, sc in ea remaining sc to last two sc, skip one sc, sc in last sc. – 48 (59) sc
Work even until hand measures about 3.75 (4.5) in [9.5 (11.4) cm] above cuff or desired length to base of Little Finger.
Little Finger
Rnd 1: Sc in 30 (37) sc, ch 2 (1), sk next 18 (22) sc.
Rnd 2: Sk first 18 (22) sc, sc in next sc to form circle, pm to indicate first sc in round.
Rnd 3: Sc in ea sc and ch around. – 14 (16) sc
Rnd 4: Sc in ea sc around. Rep Rnd 4 until Little Finger measures about 2.25 (2.75) in [5.7 (7) cm] or desired length.
Next Rnd: *Sc in first sc, sk one sc, rep from * to last sc, sc. Join to first sc with sl st. Fasten off leaving 12 in [30 cm] tail. Weave tail through ea sc. Turn finger inside out, gather snugly and fasten off.
Continue Hand
With RS facing, join yarn at base of Little Finger and work 2 sc in base of Little Finger, pm in first sc made to indicate beg of round, sc in ea sc in rem sts in hand. – 38 (46) sc.Next Rnd: Sc in ea sc around.
Ring Finger
Rnd 1: Sc in first 8 (9) sc, ch 2, sk 24 (30) sc, sc in next 6 (7) sc.Rnd 2: Sc in ea sc and ch around. – 16 (18) scRnd 3: Sc in ea sc around.Rep Rnd 3 until Ring Finger measures about 2.25 (2.75) in [5.7 (7) cm] or desired length. Finish as for Little Finger.

FINISHING
Weave in all ends. Lightly steam if desired. Apply conductive filament if it was not crocheted into tips.
TECHNIQUE FOR CROCHETING Boye® SensaThread™ Conductive Filament Into Gloves
To be effective, the conductive filament must be on the outer surface of the glove, not buried in the stitches. Crochet a swatch to be sure that the crochet method works for your yarn.
Follow the directions as given in the pattern for the index finger and thumb until they are 1 in (2.5 cm) shorter than the desired finished length, then follow the instructions below to add Boye® SensaThread™.
Glove 1
Begin working flat at this point.
Index finger: Hold 1 strand of conductive filament together with working yarn.
Row 1: Work first 8 (9) sc holding conductive filament and yarn together, drop conductive filament to WS, sc rem sts with yarn only.
Row 2: With yarn only, work to conductive filament, sc rem sts holding conductive filament and yarn together.
Repeat previous two rows once more then rep Row 1 only again.
With yarn only, finish as for other fingers and sew side seam to close finger tip.
Thumb: Follow directions for Index finger working 9 (10) sts with yarn and filament held together.
Glove 2
Work as directions above except sc with yarn and conductive filament held together on last 8 (9) sts of row for index finger and last 9 (10) sts for thumb.
TECHNIQUE FOR STITCHING Boye® SensaThread™ Conductive Filament Onto Completed Gloves
Cross Stitch: Complete gloves and then embroider eight stitches across and four or five rows on finger tips. Work loosely so conductive filament is not buried in the yarn. Fasten off and weave in ends.
