Instructions (Using U.S terminology)
Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.
Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern.
Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
Our gloves today will be from just below your wrist to just above the halfway mark of your fingers. There will be an opening for your thumb.
We work a rectangle / square that will be the length (from below wrist to halfway up your fingers) & the width (which is the round palm measurement from around the base of your fingers)
Here's where you have a small calculation to work out.
1) Measure the length you want for your gloves.
2) Measure your round wrist and measure around the palm (just at the base of your fingers - that bony bit just after the palm which is the largest part).
Generally for ladies we work about 18 - 19 cm / 7 - 7 1/2" ; and for me we work 19 - 20 cm or 7 1/2 - 8" for around palm measurement
There is no stitch count for this pattern
You just work it for as long as you want it - and then work the really simple pattern for as wide as you need it.
Start Row 1 : with as many fsc as you want for the length you want for your fingerless gloves. Turn.
I started with 25 with the 4-ply unbranded yarn and 20 with the DK yarn = 7" in length
Note : Make a note of this number so you can work the 2nd glove without confusion.
Row 2 : sc-blo in the 1st st and in each st till end. Turn.
In the following row, we work in the front loop only.
Once again, choose the stitch that suits you - so if you used sc-blo, then use sc-flo now.
Row 3 : sc-flo in the 1st fsc and in each st till end. Turn.
And that’s it… our pattern done ! How easy is this, right?
Rep Rows 2 & 3 for the round wrist measurement.
I worked till I had 7" in width.
You can join straight off or you can work one row to make a straight end before joining.
Optional Last row : sc in the 1st st and in each st till end.
Fasten off and leave a tail for joining.
Use one of these joining methods given below.
How do you join?
You have a neat rectangle - and you will join along the length (or join the starting & end rows) to make a cylinder. You need to leave a small opening for the thumb.
Starting at one end, join the two parts for about 45 cm / 2" (for a lady) or 7 cm/3" (for a man). You then leave a gap of 5 cm (lady) / 7 cm (man) and continue joining all the way to the end.
