Crochet Fingerless Gloves in Granite Stitch are a great way to keep your hands warm but keep your fingers free! The crochet granite stitch is stretchy so your crochet gloves will form to your hands, one can say they fit -like a glove!
My hands always seem to be cold, maybe its poor circulation, but another part of me chalks it up to being the cold weather we have 9 months out of the year where I live. Since I can’t wear gloves all day and night, I opt for fingerless gloves so the majority of my hands stay warm. Fingerless gloves are a great accessory to have and are quick and easy to make for new and experienced crocheters.
My version of Crochet Fingerless Gloves in Granite Stitch, are more like crochet wrist warmers really and use the granite stitch. This pattern creates a dense and beautifully woven fabric that is perfect for keeping your hands warm while allowing your fingers the freedom to move.

What makes the granite stitch unique compared to other basic stitches?
- It uses less yarn than a single crochet because of the chains.
- It is stretchier than a normal single crochet, but still maintains thick coverage with minimal holes. Perfect for pillows, blankets, gloves etc. If you like the crochet granite stitch, check out my Free Crochet Granite Stitch Cushion Pattern.
- It has fewer holes than double crochet, granny squares, etc. Making it safer to use on projects that need less or smaller holes, like baby blankets. As well as being a great stitch choice for a solid yet stretchy crochet stitch for clothing or gloves!

🍵 Instructions for Crochet Granite Stitch Fingerless Gloves
A thing to note for the pattern: If you need to make the crochet granite stitch fingerless gloves wider for larger forearms, increase the chains in multiples of 3 +1 for the turning chain.
I used acrylic yarn but you can also use wool instead for wool crochet fingerless gloves if you want to make them extra toasty!
The yarn I used was Red Heart Maypole Yarn, which has been discontinued, but any variegated yarn will result in a similar look.
This pattern is worked in the rows.
Crochet Fingerless Gloves x2:
Row 1: Make a slip knot and ch x39 +1 turning chain. (39 +1)
Row 2: In the second ch from hook, make a sc.
Then make a ch immediately after.
Skip the next chain in the foundation chain, and make a sc into the following chain. Repeat for the rest of the row. (39) Ch 1 and turn. You know you have the correct number of chains if you end on a sc, you do not want to end the row with a foundation ch untouched.
Rows 3-35: Sc into the chain space from the row below, ch over the last rows sc, and sc again. While you are completing more rows, make sure you are crocheting into the chain spaces from the previous row, do not make a single crochet into the chain directly. Crochet around it. (39) Ch 1 and turn except in the last row in sequence.
If you want the gloves longer feel free to add more rows!
Fasten off the yarn but leave a long tail for sewing.
Once you complete the square, fold it in half and stitch the side closed, leaving a hole near the top for your thumb.
Complete one more of these and now you have 2 fingerless gloves to keep your arms nice and toasty! Perfect for keeping your hands warm when you are crocheting another project!
These crochet fingerless gloves also make great things to sell at markets, or last minute Christmas gifts since it takes about an hour to complete the pair.
🧵 Pattern FAQs
I knot my yarn, fasten off and weave in the ends and skip a few stitches for the hole and restart my sewing. There's probably an easier way, but this is what I do.
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.
