How To Crochet Fingerless Gloves
Materials Needed:
- 4 mm crochet hook (adjust based on your crochet tension)
- A pair of scissors
- Two stitch markers
- A wool needle
- A measuring tape
- Double knit yarn, 3 weight, or 8 ply
Sizing:
- Measure around the hand at the widest part (over the knuckles).
- The example given is 8.5 inches, equivalent to 22 cm.
- Keep in mind that the glove will stretch.
Pattern Instructions:
Beginning:
Start:
- with a slip stitch using your preferred method.
Chain 22:
- (consider adjusting the number of chains if your hand size differs significantly from the example).
Row 1:
- Start in the second chain from the hook, work a single crochet. Place a stitch marker in this first stitch. Continue single crocheting across the chain, placing a stitch in each chain.
Body:
At the end of Row 1:
- chain 1 and turn your work.
Row 2:
- Work a single crochet into the first stitch (where you've placed the stitch marker) and each stitch across. Move the stitch marker to the first stitch of the new row.
Repeat:
- step 5 for a total of 30 rows, or until the piece measures around the hand size, keeping in mind the glove's stretch. Remove stitch markers as you work the last row.
Joining and Thumb Hole:
Forming the Glove:
- Fold the piece so that the row ends meet, preparing to join and create a tube.
Join for 10 stitches:
- using single crochet through both layers to start forming the side of the glove. This creates the bottom edge alongside the wrist.
Thumb Hole:
- Single crochet in the next 7 stitches on one layer only to create an opening for the thumb.
Finish joining:
- by single crocheting through both layers across the remaining stitches.
Finishing Touches:
Secure the yarn:
- and weave in any ends with the wool needle. Optionally, add decorative elements like a shell stitch around the openings for a more feminine look.
Complete the second glove:
- following the same pattern.
Additional Notes:
- Adjust the sizing as needed by changing the chain length at the beginning or the number of rows for length.
- The example glove is adaptable for a snug fit, which will stretch over time with wear.
Protection for driving:
- The tutorial suggests making a pair in white cotton to protect the hands from the sun while driving, particularly for those in the southern hemisphere.
