The Inspiration for my Striped Fingerless Gloves Free Pattern.

The inspiration for my free striped fingerless gloves came from wanting to add a longer cuff to a worsted weight pair of fingerless gloves and also using stripes as a design feature. 

Stripes are so much fun and these really go well with my striped cat hat pattern.  There is a long  ribbed cuff so they really are wrist warmers too. 

If you love fingerless gloves crochet patterns 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. Another glove pattern that makes up quickly for the Christmas Season and is especially good for gifting is my Oh So Cosy Fingerless Gloves Pattern as well as the pretty Alice Fingerless Gloves.

Special Stitches used in the Stripey Fingerless Gloves.

1.For the Cuff of the Stripey Fingerless Gloves pattern.

For the cuff you will do the single crochet stitches into the back loop only, (scblo)

Here is a great video tutorial to learn this technique.

 

2.For the trim at the top of the gloves.

For this trim you will alternate between the Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC) and Back Post Double Crochet (BPDC).

Here is a great video tutorial to learn this technique.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S2D25Aa5oA

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 trim.

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.

3. For the thumb opening.

For the thumb opening ribbing you will alternate between the Front Post Half Double Crochet (FPHDC) and Back Post Half Double Crochet (BPHDC).

FPHDC or front post half 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). Now yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on your hook.

BPHDC or back post half double crochet.

Yarn over, insert hook from the back side of the work to front and then 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). Now yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on your hook.

A tip to remember when working this ribbing for the thumb.

When you work 1 front post half double crochet (FPHDC) around the post of the half 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.

 

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.

US Double Crochet (dc) Half Double Crochet (hdc) Single Crochet (sc)

UK Treble (tr) Half Treble Crochet (htr) Double Crochet (dc)

 

Instructions:

The instructions for both sizes are written below.

I have written two numbers to represent the number of stitches you will chain to start your project and also how many stitches you will have at the end of each row. The first number is for the small/medium, and the second number is for the medium/large size.

Eg: When you see Ch 22, (24) the 22 is for the small/medium size and the 24 is for the medium/large size.

 

Cuff.

See the Special Stitches for the Cuff section above to learn about scblo.

Starting with red yarn.

Chain 11

Row 1: sc into the 2^nd ch from the hook, sc into the next 9 chains. Turn work. (10 stitches)

Row 2: Ch 1, scblo into each stitch across.  Turn work. (10 stitches)

Rows 3- 21 (23): Ch 1, scblo into each stitch across. Turn work.  (10 stitches)

Row 22(24): Ch 1, scblo into each stitch across.  Do not fasten off as you will need the yarn to complete the seam.

Fold the cuff in half and seam the short ends together using a slst

 

Do not fasten off. 

 

 

Working the body of the glove

Note: From this point these gloves are crocheted in the round so you do not turn the work.

With red yarn ch1. You will be working across the top of the sc rows of the cuff.

 Pick up 22 (24) stitches by making a sc into the top of each row of single crochet from the cuff.

Still using red yarn.

Round 11: Ch 2, *FPDC into DC in row below, BPDC into next DC in row below* repeat around, join with a sl st to top of Ch2.

Round 12: Ch 2, *FPDC into DC in row below, BPDC into next DC in row below* repeat around, join with a sl st to top of Ch2.

Finish off and weave in the ends.

 

The Thumb Opening.

Use the H 5mm hook for the thumb.

For the thumb opening we will be making a ribbing with the fphdc, bphdc alternating around.

 NOTE: The instructions for working this type of ribbing are written above.

 With red:

Using hdc stitches, pick up 5 stitches along the front opening and pick up 5 stiches down the back of the thumb opening, so you have made a total of 10 hdc.

Round 1: Ch 1, *FPHDC into HDC in row below, BPHDC into next HDC in row below* repeat around, join with a sl st to top of Ch1.

Round 2: Ch 1, *FPHDC into HDC in row below, BPHDC into next HDC in row below* repeat around, join with a sl st to top of Ch1.
