Free Crochet Gloves with Fingers Pattern

If you’ve been looking for the perfect pattern for crochet gloves, this is it! When designing gloves with fingers I wanted them to span multiple sizes, I wanted to use beginner-friendly stitches, and I wanted them to have a sleek, simple design. I am SO pleased with how these crochet gloves turned out. I know you’ll love them as much as I do! Let’s crochet some gloves with this free pattern!

Crochet Gloves with Fingers Free Pattern

I walk every morning, and I crochet during my walks. Lately it’s been too cold to walk outside, even with gloves on, but when the temperature is in that sweet spot where walking outdoors is bearable, yet my fingers get super cold, gloves are a must-have. So, instead of using the cheap pair from Walmart that I cut the thumbs off of, I decided to crochet a pair of gloves for myself to wear while I walk and crochet on other things. How poetic is that?

For folks that work in an office setting where the thermostat is always set way too cold, gloves are sometimes not a luxury one can afford while also being able to type. Leave all of the fingers just halfway up and your hands will be warm while also allowing you to type, use a calculator, use the telephone, etc. Awesome!

I chose to only go up halfway up the thumb on my walking gloves. I do think I may remove the ends of the index fingers as well, but that will be an easy change if I decide to chop them off. Of course, you could do all half fingers as I have done in the black pair.

You can choose whether to go halfway on each finger, or go all the way up and close each finger off. I love that these are almost texting gloves when even just a couple of the fingers are stopped halfway up. Love how customizable they are!

This crochet gloves with fingers pattern spans FIVE sizes from women’s small to men’s x-large. As you’re making the gloves, if you try them on, they should be tight. This is good! The stitches will relax a bit over time and we want the gloves to be nice and fitted even with wear.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crocheted Gloves:

Is it better to knit or crochet gloves? Handmade gloves are many times knitted because of how nice and tight the knit stitches are. They are short stitches which makes a dense fabric. There is a specific crochet stitch, the Waistcoat Stitch, that is short and dense, that works similarly to knitting and makes for excellent crocheted gloves.

What size hook do you need to crochet gloves? Since these gloves are crocheted using a sport weight yarn (size 2) and we want the stitches to be nice and tight, we use a 3.5mm hook. Of course, you’ll want to measure your gauge against the pattern to make sure that your gloves come out the correct size.

How do I know what size gloves to make? To determine the size of gloves you need to make, first you’ll measure the palm of your hand around your knuckles at the widest point. If you fall in between two sizes, go with the larger of the two. Better to be a bit roomy than too tight!

This simple crochet gloves pattern uses a beginner stitch which is a simple variation of the single crochet. Instead of going into the top of the stitch, we’re going into the center of the stitch. The Waistcoat Stitch looks knit and creates an excellent fabric. See a full tutorial for the Waistcoat Stitch here.

Other great yarn choices would be size 2/sock weight yarns such as Mary Maxim Baby’s Best, Bernat Softee Baby yarn, Premier Basix DK, Herrschners Afghan yarn, Premier Colorfusion DK, Hobbii’s Amigo, or any 100% acrylic yarn in a size 2 or thinner size 3.
