- Cuff Technique: The front post double crochet and back post double crochet stitches create a lovely texture and secure the glove's fit around your wrist.
Instructions
Granny Square: Make x4
- Round 1: With the brown yarn, make a mr, then ch x2 and dc x11 into the mr. Then you will pull tight and sl st to the top of the chains. The chains act as a dc in this pattern (12). Fasten off the brown yarn and weave in any ends.
- Round 2: With the yellow yarn, Join the yarn to any top of the dc stitches from the round below. Then ch x2. In the same stitch dc 2 together. *Then ch x2. After, dc 3 together in the next stitch (also a granny cluster stitch). Repeat from *. When you get to the end of the round, ch x2 and make a sl st to the first ch space you made. Then fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends.
- Round 3: With the light green yarn, join the yarn on any of the ch x2 spaces from the round below. Then ch x2 and dc x2 into the same space. In the next ch x2 space, hdc x3. Hdc x3 in the next ch space, then in the next ch space we will make a corner. For the corner dc x3, ch x2, and dc x3 again.
- Repeat hdc x3, hdc x3, dc x3 + ch x2 + dc x3 for the rest of the round. After you are done with the last 2 groups of hdc x3, you will work dc x3 and ch x2 in the already half worked corner space. Then sl st to the top of the starting rounds chains. Then fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends.
Assembly:
- Once you have 4 granny squares made you will assemble the main part of the glove.
- Take 2 granny squares and stack them, make sure the wrong sides are facing out. Then sl st or whip stitch (hand sewing) them together on one side. On the opposite side, sew them together about 4-5 stitches on each end leaving a hole in the middle for a thumb to go through.
- Once the glove is sewn on 2 sides. Flip it inside out. Still using the light green, sc around the thumbhole, 1 sc in each stitch. Then fasten off and weave in any ends.
Top and Bottom Edges of the Glove:
- For the top edge of the glove:
- Join the darker green yarn anywhere at the top and sc the top edge. Then sl st to the first sc, fasten off and weave in any ends.
- For the bottom edge:
- Round 1: Using a 4.5mm hook, join the dark green yarn to anywhere on the bottom edge. Then ch x2. Make dc stitches for this entire round. Then sl st to the beginning chains. You should have 28 dc posts. 26 and even 24 dc posts are fine since this type of ribbing is stretchy. Just make sure the number of dc stitches you have are even.
- Round 2: Ch x2 and then alternate fpdc and bpdc for the entire round. Then sl st to the beginning chains.
- Round 3 and 4: Repeat round 2, make sure that your fpdc and bpdc stitches are stacked so you create a beautiful ribbed texture. Then fasten off and weave in any ends.
- I hope you enjoyed making these super simple and stylish granny square fingerless gloves.
