Crochet Fingerless Gloves in Granite Stitch are perfect for keeping your hands warm while allowing your fingers to move freely! The granite stitch provides a stretchy fabric that will fit your hands comfortably—like a glove!
My hands are often cold, which I attribute to poor circulation and the cold weather we experience for most of the year where I live.
Since wearing full gloves all the time isn't practical, I prefer fingerless gloves that keep most of my hands warm. They are a great accessory and are quick and easy to make, whether you're new to crochet or have years of experience.
My version of Crochet Fingerless Gloves in Granite Stitch is more like wrist warmers, featuring a dense and beautifully woven fabric that provides warmth while giving your fingers freedom of movement.

🐌Expert Tips
- Thumb Hole Sewing: For a neat finish, knot your yarn, fasten off, and weave in the ends. Skip a few stitches for the hole and restart sewing. You can also crochet around the thumb hole, but ensure the tension is not too tight.
- Switching Colors: To switch colors without visible tails, weave in the ends at least 4-5 inches. This ensures the gloves stay secure.
- Alternative Yarn Choices: Acrylic yarn is great for these gloves, but you can also use wool for extra warmth.
- Market & Gift Potential: These gloves make great items to sell at markets or as last-minute gifts. They take about an hour to complete a pair!
🧵 Pattern FAQs
Knot your yarn, fasten off, and weave in the ends, skipping stitches for the thumb hole. Then, restart sewing.
Yes! I didn't because fingerless gloves don't necessarily need it, but if you do crochet around the hole just make sure the tension is nice and it isn't too tight for your thumbs!
The only way to make sure the gloves don't come unraveled is to weave in every yarn tail 4-5 inches.
