Easy Crochet Everyday Fingerless Gloves
Pattern by Doily Designs Cathleen Wake Gorbatenko ©2021
Written in US crochet terms (Downloadable pattern free on Google Docs)
Skill: Intermediate (experienced beginner, easy crochet)
Size: G (7-4.5mm) hook
Yarn: one skein, size 4, worsted weight yarn (I used; Caron Simply Soft and other soft size 4 worsted weight yarn)
Stitch key
Ch: Chain
Sl st: Slip stitch
Sc: Single crochet
Hdc: Half Double Crochet
Note that Ch 2 at end of rows counts as Hdc
Helpful notes: (Pattern follows below)
* Instructions are for Medium women's size gloves. To make smaller or larger gloves,
add or subtract multiples of 2 to your chain,
* Measuring the chain against your hand as you go.
* Do not stretch the chain when measuring.
* You will make a rectangle until you have reached your desired size, measure the
rectangle, long ways around your hand, continue until it feels comfortable, but not
loose.
* Once you reach the desired fit, you will join the rectangle with a seam using a Sl st,
leaving a hole for the thumb.
* Wrist cuff is then crocheted around the bottom, continuing to desired length of
cuff. (I find the short cuff works best for this glove.)
* You will finish with optional scalloped edge, Sc, or you can leave it as is.
Fnd: Ch 18, turn. (16 + 2)
Row 1: Hdc in 4th Ch from the hook, Hdc in each Ch across, Ch 2, turn. (16 Hdc)
Row 2: Hdc in each Hdc across, Ch 2, turn. (16 Hdc)
Repeat Row 2 until rectangle fits snuggly around hand.
I do 20 rows for size Medium (pictured).
Keep in mind that you do not want it to be loose, and that it will stretch a tiny bit. It is better to take a row out and make it a little more snug than to leave a row if it is loose, unless you like a loose fit.
Join sides together at upper edge with a Sl st, and Sl st to thumb hole, for medium this is 6 sts to thumb hole from the top of the glove. Join new strand with Sl st on other side of thumb hole, 3 sts for medium, I start this join in the 3rd st from the bottom edge of the glove, join with Sl St in 3 sts and Sl st in 3 sp to the edge of the glove, then continue around the bottom edge. Note that you could fasten off and join at each new point if you would prefer.
Turn right side out, with seam on the inside, and try on. If satisfied, continue around bottom to start on wrist cuff, working with right side out.
Wrist: Continuing around edge from the side join, (or join with sl st where seam joins at the bottom of the glove), Ch 1, Sc around every Hdc, so here I will do 20 Sc around the bottom of the glove since I did 20 Hdc, joining in 1st sc, without turning, Ch 2, Hdc in each Sc around. Join in 2nd st of turning Ch, equalling 20 Hdc. Repeat until desired length of wrist band is reached. Pictured are 8 rnds. You can do more or less rounds for desired length. Continue with the wrist cuff until you reach the length you want, try on the glove, when satisfied, fasten off, or continue with edging.
For the edge, you could do a Sc around each outer edge, try the small scallop edge below, or do your own thing.
Optional Scallop Edge on Top: Join at seam on top edge of the glove, Ch 1, *Skip 1 st, 3 Sc in next st*, repeat * to * around, join in 1st st. Fasten off. Weave ends.
