CROCHETED FINGERLESS GLOVES







These fingerless gloves are super quick and easy to make. They are gorgeous in self striping yarn so feel free to express yourself! If you are a new crocheter, this is a satisfying project. Make a bunch of them and remember, these can be tried on as you go, so don't be afraid to add some stitches or remove
some to fit your hand better. Adjust them until they are perfect for you and have fun!


Aran weight Yarn
Size G hook


Chain 8
Row 1 : SC in second chain from hook. SC across row. Chain 1 (this is your turning chain). Turn Work.

Repeat row one until piece measures 7 inches. End row.

Fold the piece end to end (first row to last row) and sew together. This is your cuff.

Along top edge (this is whichever edge you choose to be the top) pick up and SC 36 stitches. Place a marker to indicate the start of the round.

Continue to single crochet in the round until the entire piece (cuff included) measures 5 inches,

CREATING THUMB

SC until four stitches before your marker. Now with stitch still on hook, insert hook into the fourth stitch after marker and slip stitch. This creates the hole for your thumb. Continue to SC around the hand portion of the glove (28 stitches) until the entire piece (cuff included) measures 7 1⁄2 inches or until it fits your hand to your liking. Tie off your last stitch and weave in the ends.


MAKING THUMB

SC in the eight remaining stitches of the thumb and place a marker to indicate the beginning of your round. SC in every stitch for 1 1⁄2 inches or until the thumb fits you to your liking. Tie off last stitch and weave in your ends. You have completed your first glove. Now make the second one!!
