Pattern:
Glove Body (make 2):
- Start by making a foundation chain of 30 chains. Adjust the length to fit your wrist circumference if needed. The number of chains should be a multiple of 2 for an even stitch count.
- Join the last chain to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a ring. Be careful not to twist the chain.
- Round 1: Ch 1, SC in each chain around. Join with a slip stitch to the first SC. (30 SC)
- Round 2: Ch 2 (counts as first DC), DC in the same stitch and in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the beginning Ch 2. (30 DC)
- Rounds 3-4: Repeat Round 2.
- Round 5: Ch 1, HDC in the same stitch and in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first HDC. (30 HDC)
- Rounds 6-15: Repeat Round 5 or continue until the desired length is reached for your gloves. You can adjust the length to cover more or fewer fingers as you like.
-
Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
Thumb Hole:
- Turn the glove inside out.
- Count approximately 5-6 stitches from the edge of the glove on one side to create the thumb hole. Use stitch markers or keep track of the stitches.
- Join your yarn in the designated stitch with a slip stitch.
- Ch 1, SC in the same stitch and in the next 5-6 stitches, depending on the size of the thumb hole you desire.
- Ch 1, turn, and work SC in each stitch across.
- Repeat Step 5 for 2-3 rows or until the thumb hole is the desired length.
- Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
Finishing:
- Turn the gloves right side out.
- Optionally, add any embellishments or decorative stitches to the cuffs or thumb hole area.
- Repeat the entire process for the second glove.
Once you’ve completed both gloves, you’ll have a stylish pair of patterned fingerless gloves to wear or give as a gift. Feel free to experiment with different yarn colors, stitch patterns, and embellishments to create unique and personalized gloves.
