How to Crochet Fingerless Gloves

Gloves and mittens are the most essential accessories without which the cold days are hard to cut through. We very well know that they keep our hands and wrists warm, which in turn facilitates and supports our will power to uphold different tasks throughout a chilly day. But sometimes wearing full fingered gloves or mittens, may lower the speed of working.

● Two pairs of size 15 US circular needles
● A pair of scissors
● Crochet hook
● 1 yarn ball (80 yards)
● Tapestry/Yarn needle

Gauge: 2½ stitches and 3 rows per inch knit stockinette stitch in the round.

Size: For these fingerless gloves the entire project is 9'' long and 8'' around.

● Cast on 18 stitches using one set of circular needles using the method of long-tail cast-on.

● Gently slide the stitches to the other part of the needle and slip the initial nine stitches which were cast onto the second circular needle.

● If you wish to mark the end of the row, make sure you place a stitch marker just before the last stitch is attempted on the second circular needle.

● Be careful in your working to ensure that you do not twist the stitches while working. With this progress, join in the round.

● Now, knit every row (knit in stockinette stitch) for about 7'' or you may knit to your desired length too, the one before the thumb.

● For this sort of knitting, use the two circulars, i.e., knit the initial nine stitches with one set of circular needles and then knit the second stitch with the second set of circular needles.

● With the ongoing progress, in the following row on the first set of needles, knit the initial 6 stitches.

● Now very swiftly slip in the final 3 stitches from the very same needle and the first 3 stitches from the second needle onto the stitch holder. This makes it 6 stitches. Knit the final 6 stitches pulling tight every time you switch the needles.

● Keep working to knit in the round on 12 stitches for about 2'' or if you wish, to your desired length.

● Bind off and cut the yarn thread.

● Now proceeding towards the final step, gently slide the 3 stitches off your stitch marker onto one set of the needle and rest 3 stitches onto the other one.

● In this last step, knit all of these 6 stitches in the round to about 1½'' or to any of your desired length.

● Bind off loosely and cut the yarn thread leaving out a long tail in the project.

● Now about the long tail left out in the end and for some extra finishing edges, use a tapestry or perhaps a yarn needle to sew up all the in-between holes that may appear within the hand and thumb.

● Weave in the ends and make the second glove in a similar manner.
