Belly Dancer Gloves – Free Crochet Pattern

You don’t have to be a child to love dressing up. Be a child at heart, no matter your age! As the name implies, these gloves were designed with belly dancers in mind. No dancing is required to wear these gloves, though! If you enjoy renaissance fairs, cosplay, clubbing, dancing, raves, and my personal favorite, hula hooping, these crochet “gloves” would be a great top off to your outfit.

Unlike the fingerless gloves worn in the winter to keep you warm, these gloves are just for show. Form follows function, usually. But this time, it’s all in the name of fun.
