Crochet Fingerless Gloves :)

So for those of you who like to crochet I have a pattern for you that is actually pretty simple. I have come up with a Fingerless Glove Pattern that keeps your hands pretty warm but leaves your fingers free to do things like use the computer or crochet or draw. :) I hope you enjoy it and if you have any questions please ask I'm more than willing to help :)

Supplies:

H/8 crochet hook (5.00mm)
Worsted weight yarn
yarn needle

Here's the pattern :)

Stitches used & abbreviations:

St- Stitch

Slst- Slipstitch

Sc- Single Crochet

Bpsc- back post single crochet

Crossed dc

Crossed dc increase

This is a pattern for a size small but at the end will give directions for bigger/custom sizes

Cuff: To start make a slipknot and leave about a 4 or 5 inch tail to sew the cuff together after joining slst.

Round 1: Ch 11, sc in 2^nd st from the hook in the next 9. Ch 1 (10 sc)

Round 2: Sc in 1^st st then bpsc in next 9. Ch 1 (10)

Round 3-25: repeat round 2. Slst together. Take a yarn needle and stitch the cuff together with the tail, tie off and weave in ends.

For the Hand part: The cuff and this piece are all one big piece instead of two separate pieces put together.

Round 1: ch 1, sc evenly around for a total of 25 sc. Join with slst.

Round 2: slst in next st. ch 3, dc in previous(joining) slst. Crossed dc around. Skip last st. Join with slst. (24 sts)

Round 3: Same as round 2. (24 sts)

Round 4: slst in next st. ch 3 dc in previous st. crossed dc, crossed dc increase *2 crossed dc, 1 crossed dc increase* around. Join with slst. (28 sts)

Round 5: slst in next st. ch 3, dc in previous st. crossed dc around. Join with slst (28 sts)

*note you can add more rounds here for a longer glove if you would like then just continue with round 6*

Round 6: slst in next st. ch 3, dc in previous st. crossed dc until just 6 chains are left. Turn (22 sts)

Round 7: slst in next 2 sts. Ch 3, dc in previous st. crossed dc around. Ch 4. Join with slst. Turn. (26 sts)

Round 8: slst in next 2 sts. Ch 3, dc in previous st. crossed dc around. Join with slst. (26 sts)

Round 9: Slst in next st. ch 3, dc in previous st. crossed dc around. Join with slst. Fasten off and weave in ends. (26 sts)

*note you can also add a row or two more here if you would like them to cover your fingers a bit more.

Do again for other glove and you’re finished!! (:

For bigger or more customized gloves just make the cuff as many rows as needed but still snug to allow for stretching (odd numbers are best as the tail is by the slst joining the cuff ends and you can sew it down a little easier) and just single crochet the same number of rows around. The above pattern works the same way and just make sure that the end count of stitches is even at the end of each row.
