Fingerless Crochet Gloves Inspiration
I wanted to design a pair of fingerless gloves that were quick and simple to crochet. Who does not love an easy crochet project that is fast to make! You could make this lovely pattern in less than 2 hours.
This easy pattern can be customised to make the gloves longer and you can use different colors to suit your own style.
I love the stripe versions and the color possibilities are endless! Or make in one shade of yarn with a final row of a contrast to add a pop of color.
This crochet glove pattern is also a perfect accessory make for Craft Fairs and Winter markets. Whip up a bunch of crochet handwarmers in different colors for your stall and watch them sell like hot cakes.

How to Crochet Easy Fingerless Gloves
This fingerless mitts pattern uses only basic crochet stitches so is perfect for the beginner crocheter. I used this lovely textured stitch in my recent pattern for a Chunky Crochet Scarf and wanted to use it again.
You will be using single crochet stitches and ch-2 spaces. No counting and you will be working into the ch-2 space, so no fiddling around to find the next stitch! This stitch pattern is also often called a single crochet v-stitch.
Once you have the foundation row worked, it is a one-row repeat pattern.
You will crochet in rows to make a flat rectangle shape and then seam the long sides together, leaving a small space for the thumb hole.
The stitch pattern is reversible so there is no ‘right side’.
Best Yarn for Crochet Fingerless Gloves
To crochet my gloves I used Stylecraft Special Aran yarn, one of my favorites for accessories. It is affordable and soft and comes in a huge variety of shades! I used a size 4.5mm crochet hook for my gloves but you could use a larger hook if you wish. If you work to a tight tension a larger hook may be more suitable.
Experiment with the stitch pattern and see what works best for you.
You could use any worsted weight/aran yarn of your choice to make this easy crochet pattern. They would be beautiful in a soft merino yarn and you will only need a small amount!
How Much Yarn do You Need to Crochet Fingerless Gloves?
