interlocked fingers

Digits threaded together

Interlocked fingers describes hands joined with the fingers woven together, alternating between the two hands.

The gesture suggests intimacy or connection when done with another person: They walked with interlocked fingers.

When done with one's own hands, it often accompanies prayer, pleading, or anxious waiting: She sat with interlocked fingers, hoping for good news.
