How To Crochet Granny Square Fingerless Gloves
Materials Needed
- Yarn: Baby yarn in two colors (as used in the video: a solid color + white).
- Hooks:
- 2.5 mm crochet hook for making the granny squares.
- 2.0 mm crochet hook for the rest of the glove.
- Scissors.
Step 1: Making the Granny Squares
Each square is made up of multiple rounds.
Round 1:
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain 4 and join with a slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
- Into the ring:
- Start with a starting double crochet. (Pull up a loop, wrap it around your hook, hold with your finger, insert into the ring, and complete the double crochet.)
- Make 2 regular double crochets (total = 3 double crochets).
- Chain 2 (to form the corner).
- Repeat [3 double crochets + chain 2] three more times until you have 4 groups of 3 double crochets (to serve as the sides).
- To complete the last corner:
- Instead of chaining 2, insert the hook at the top of the first double crochet, yarn over, and pull through all loops to make a half double crochet.
- Round 1 is complete.
Round 2:
- Start with a starting double crochet in the corner (chain 2 space).
- Into the same corner:
- Make 2 more double crochets (total = 3 double crochets).
- Skip the next 3 stitches and go to the next corner:
- Make 3 double crochets + chain 2 + 3 double crochets.
- Repeat the pattern [skip 3 stitches, cluster + chain 2 + cluster in each corner] until the end.
- For the last corner:
- Instead of a chain 2, make a half double crochet at the top of the first double crochet.
- Round 2 is complete.
Round 3:
- Start with a starting double crochet in the corner.
- Into the same corner:
- Make 2 more double crochets (total = 3 double crochets).
- Between groups of stitches from the previous round:
- Make 3 double crochets.
- For corners, make [3 double crochets + chain 2 + 3 double crochets].
- Continue this pattern around until the end.
- Finish with a half double crochet at the top of the first double crochet to complete Round 3.
Round 4 to Round 5:
- Repeat the same pattern:
- 3 double crochets between groups and 3 double crochets + chain 2 + 3 double crochets at corners.
- Adjust the square size according to your hand size. The video uses 5 rounds.
Finishing the Square:
- At the end of Round 5:
- Chain 2 and make a slip stitch into the top of the first double crochet.
- Cut the yarn and fasten the square.
- Make 4 identical granny squares for the gloves (2 for each hand).
Step 2: Joining the Granny Squares
Joining Two Squares for Each Glove
- Hold two squares side by side.
- Use the second yarn color (e.g., white) and create a slip knot.
- Insert the hook into:
- The first chain-2 corner space of the first square.
- The first chain-2 corner space of the second square.
- Pull through the yarn and begin slip stitching:
- Work into the back loops of matching stitches on both squares.
- Continue slip stitching along one side until you reach the corner.
Joining the Top and Bottom Edges:
- At the top and bottom of the squares:
- Join only the first 3 stitches on each side.
- Leave the remaining stitches free to create the thumb hole.
Step 3: Creating the Thumb Hole
- Build a foundation for the thumb hole:
- Attach yarn and make 4 chains.
- Skip the first chain and work single crochets into the remaining chains.
- Join the rows with slip stitches at the edges.
- Continue working:
- Alternate rows of single crochets and join the edges as you go.
- Work until the thumb hole opening is complete.
Step 4: Working the Rest of the Hand
- Attach yarn to the base of the glove.
- Create the cuff:
- Work rows of single crochets to build height.
- Join edges using slip stitches (if needed) for a snug fit.
- Repeat for the second glove.
Final Step: Wear and Enjoy
Once both gloves are complete, try them on and enjoy your warm, homemade granny square gloves!
Notes:
- Adjust the sizes and rounds based on your hand measurements.
- If you're new to crochet, practice granny squares separately until you're comfortable with the technique.
