‘Tis the season of intoxicating pumpkin spice, Taylor Swift, infinity scarves and fingerless gloves. Get in the fall feels with these soft ‘n cozy accessories, guaranteed to make any outfit a fall outfit. Specifically designed for comfort and aesthetic, these gloves were made for you. Live, Laugh, Fingerless Gloves
Fingerless Glove Pattern + Materials
Materials Used
For these gloves, I used a soft, velvety yarn and an 8.0mm hook. While the type of yarn is optional, I would recommend using a yarn comfortable on the skin - hence the cozy yarn. You will also need a pair of scissors.
The Ribbing
Like any crochet pattern, you must begin with a slip knot.
Then chain as long as you want the ribbing to be.
Chain one and turn your work
Half double crochet into the the third chain (Throughout this pattern you will be crocheting into the BACK LOOPS ONLY)
Half double crochet all the way to the end
Chain two and flip your work - this must be done every time you start a new row (during ribbing)
Repeat until you are able to wrap the ribbing around your arm
To close, simply single crochet together
Turn your work inside out and you are ready to begin the hand portion of the glove
The Hand
If you are using a different colored yarn, now would be a good time to use it
Chain two (with the new color if your are using one) - Double crochet all the way around
Close the row with a slip stitch and chain two again
Continue another row of double crochet
The row should be able to reach up to the base your thumb - if it doesn’t do so add another row of double crochet ( or as many rows as necessary )
Close the row with a slip stitch
The Thumb Hole
To make the thumb hole, continue from where you left off - the previous step
Chain around your thumb
And slip stitch to connect it to the glove
The Hand…Again
Immediately after the slip stitch, double crochet around (inside the chains used for the thumb hole)
Continue the rows until you reach your knuckles
TIP: If you feel your glove has become loose, simply perform a decrease stitch for some of your stitches, this will tighten the glove.
I did one extra row of single crochet with the same color I used for the ribbing - this step is optional but recommended
The End
This concludes the end of the Fingerless Gloves pattern
Now you are ready to enjoy an overrated pumpkin spice latte and watch the satisfyingly, crunchy autumn leaves fall around you.
