Step-by-Step Pattern
Step 1: Foundation Chain
- Begin with a chain of 31 stitches (adjust chains for your hand size; fewer for smaller hands, more for larger hands).
- Keep chains loose, not tight, so the fabric doesn’t become stiff.
Step 2: Row 1 – Base Row
- Starting in the 4th chain from hook, work half double crochet (hdc).
- Skip 3 chains, then insert your hook in the 4th chain, work 1 hdc.
- Work hdc stitches across every 4th chain until you reach the end, finishing with approximately 29 stitches (including 25 hdc in the middle and 4 single crochet stitches separated at one edge).
- At the base edge (wrist-side), work 4 single crochet (sc) stitches reserved for the cuff area.
Step 3: Rows 2 to 18 – Continue Work
- Chain 1, turn.
- Work hdc in the back loop only (BLO) of each stitch across, maintaining the established stitch pattern (hdc over high points, sc over reserved stitches).
- Continue for a total of 18 rows, until the piece measures about 18–19 cm in length (from fingers to wrist). Adjust rows as desired.
Step 4: Maintaining Stitch Pattern
- Always work four single crochet stitches (sc) at the cuff end to maintain neatness and stretch.
- For the main part of the glove, the half double crochets are worked in the back loops for that ribbed effect.
- Keep turning and chaining 1 to start each new row.
Step 5: Finishing & Closing the Glove
- After completing the desired length, fasten off leaving a long tail for seaming.
- Fold the piece in half lengthwise and use your tapestry needle and yarn tail to sew the side seam, leaving a small opening for the thumb.
- When closing, pick up the outer back loops only to maintain texture and neat edges.
- Seam the wrist end edge in the same manner, creating a clean finish with a small cuff.
Step 6: Final Touches
- Weave in all yarn ends neatly with a tapestry needle.
- Make another glove using the same instructions for the pair.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Measure your hand carefully before starting to adjust chain length and rows for a perfect fit.
- Keep chains less tight for better mobility and comfort.
- Using the back loop only for hdc stitches creates a lovely stretchy and ribbed texture perfect for gloves.
- Be careful while seaming to maintain the texture on the right side of the glove.
- Leave a thumb opening gap that fits your thumb comfortably without being too loose or tight.
Tip
If you want a warmer glove, consider doubling the yarn or adding a liner. For a more decorative look, try switching colors or adding a simple border stitch after seaming.
Conclusion
These fingerless gloves are an easy and practical crochet project that blends comfort and style through textured half double crochet stitches. With adjustable sizing and a neat finish, they make terrific handmade gifts or stylish everyday accessories.
