If you enjoyed this freebie, consider leaving me a tip on my Ko-fi!

If you are looking for an adult version of this pattern, see Galadriel Battle Mitts or Kili Scalemail Gauntlets !

My son saw some of the adult scalemail gauntlets I have been designing lately and informed me he needed a pair of “dragon gloves” too. So I designed a quick little pair for him! Every little dwarf, warrior princess, and dragon slayer needs a pair. I hope your little ones love them as much as mine do! These are, of course, unisex; just make sure you check the sizing on their palm before casting on.

If you have never worked scalemail before, please don’t be intimidated! It looks a lot more difficult than it actually is. It’s very similar to working beads inline with your knitting. I have made a tutorial to help you. View it here:
