I’m so happy to introduce the “Winter Time Fingerless Gloves” Free Pattern to you,  and it is just in time for the winter season. I used a worsted weight yarn for this fingerless gloves free pattern, and you will find your finished gloves are perfect for wearing in the fall to keep your hands cozy while leaving your fingers free for texting or taking pictures on your phone.

The Inspiration for my Winter Time Fingerless Gloves Free Pattern.

The inspiration for my free Winter Time fingerless gloves came from my customers who visit my market stall. There was a demand for a pair of gloves made with worsted weight yarn, but not with the open texture of my lacy gloves. They asked for something that was of a more dense texture to cover the hands more completely. SO I came up with this quick and easy pattern using the double crochet stitch. There is also a short cuff created by the fpdc, bpdc rib pattern. This is all explained in the pattern below.

If you love the Winter Time fingerless gloves crochet pattern you may also be interested in my Short and Chunky Fingerless Gloves. These were so popular with my testers as they loved how quickly they made up. Since publishing the pattern they have been a best seller on my market stalls, especially during the Christmas Season. They make fantastic gifts and make up so quickly.

There is an ad free, printer friendly PDF pattern for the Winter Time Fingerless Gloves available in my Etsy shop if you would prefer a written pattern. Just click the button for the PDF pattern.

These gloves are perfect for beginners.  They are made in the round, so there are no seams to sew and they grow very quickly. You will have so much fun making these and sharing them with loved ones.

One of my favourite yarns for the Winter Time Fingerless Gloves is Boutique Unforgettable Yarn, but they look great in any worsted weight yarn. Look for the number (4) on the label.

There are three sizes available as well so they can fit child/womens small, medium and large sized hands.

Don’t forget to pin it for later and also add it to your Ravelry queue.

This free fingerless glove crochet pattern is perfect for beginners as well as advanced crocheters.

You can make the Winter Time Gloves using  the double crochet stitch.

For those new to crochet, I have videos on my Carroway Crochet youtube Channel that will demonstrate the double crochet stitch. I have both left and right handed version available to help beginner crocheters.

 

 

 

 

The Winter Time Fingerless Gloves Free Pattern

Pattern by Pam Carr ©2019

 

 This fingerless glove pattern is perfect for beginners or intermediate crocheters.

Special Stitches used in the Cuff Version of the Winter Time Fingerless Glove pattern.

For the cuff you will do Front Post Double Crochet and Back Post Double Crochet.

Here is a great video tutorial to learn this technique.

FPDC or front post double crochet.

Yarn over, insert hook from the front side of the work to back and then to front again, around the post of the indicated stitch on the previous row; yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops, (2 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops, (1 loop on hook).

 

BPDC or back post double crochet.

Yarn over, insert hook from the back side of the work to front and to back again around the post of the indicated stitch on the previous row; yarn over and pull up a loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (2 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through two loops (1 loop on hook)

 

A tip to remember when working this ribbed brim.

When you work 1 front post double crochet (FP DC) around the post of the double crochet in the row below, this stitch is raised on the surface of the fabric facing you. Always make sure that the post stitches are raised to the same side in each successive row or round. Keep an eye on the ribs and remember: If the stitch you’re working is raised to the front, work a front post stitch; if the stitch is raised to the back, work a back post stitch.

Finished Size:

Small/child: 6” circumference or 3” wide, 5.5” tall

Large child/woman’s medium. 6.5-7.5” circumference or 3.5”- 4” wide,

Large:  8-9.5” circumference or 4.5” wide, 7” tall

 

Supplies you will need for the gloves:

Yarn: One skein of worsted weight (4) yarn. I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice yarn for the grey pair and Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable yarn for the turquoise pairs.

Any worsted weight (4) yarn can be used.

 

Hook: H/8 – 5mm.

Notions: Scissors , tapestry needle.

Gauge: 11 dc – 7 rows = 4” (10 cm)

 

Abbreviations (uses US conventions)

• Ch = chain

This pattern uses US terminology. The US and UK crochet terms are different, but they use the same terms to describe different stitches. Here is a simple conversion chart for anyone in the UK.

Instructions: 

The instructions for both sizes are written below.

I have written three numbers to represent the number of stitches you will have at the end of each row. The first number is for the child size, and the second number is for the medium size and the last is for the large size.

Eg: When you see Ch 20 (24, 28) the 20 is for the small size and the 24 is medium and the 28 is for the large size.

When you see Row 4-(7, 8, 9): you will do row 4 and then work until row 7 for small, row 8 for medium and row 9 for the large size.

These gloves are crocheted in the round so you do not turn the work.
