Classic Gloves Pattern



Free Pattern:
Us 5.5 mm or 5.00 mm crochet hook
Size 4 medium worsted weight yarn


Magic circle or chain 4 connecting to the first chain with a slip stitch.

Row 1: Place 5 single crochets into the circle

Row 2: Increase all stitches by placing 2 single crochets into each stitch (10)

Row 3: Increase all stitches again by putting two single crochets into each stitch. (20)

Row 4-20: Place a single crochet into each stitch working in a round.

Row 21: Place one single crochet. chain 5. Skip 5 stitches and place a single crochet. Work a single crochet all the way around (this creates an opening for your thumb.)

Row 22-25: Place a single crochet all the way around (one single crochet in each chain as well) (20)

Row 26:  (this is also where I would change color for the cuff) You are going to decrease on both sides of the glove, you can decide where you want that what I did was combine the first two stitches, work 8 single crochets, combine another 2 single crochets, and finish working my way around in single crochets. (18)

Row 27-33: Work a single crochet all the way around in a round creating the cuff. Fasten off (you can make the cuff as long as you want, this is the one that felt most comfortable for me)


Thumb Row 1: Connect how every you would like for the thumb and work a single crochet all the way around. I had a total of 12 stitches, working 5 on each side and 1 on the side. 

Row 2-7: Work a single crochet all the way around working in a round.

Row 8: Decrease all stitches. After this row fastens off and sews the thumb closed.


Fun story, a long time ago before I really got good at crocheting and I was just making hats and blankets, I tried to make fingerless gloves, and honestly they were not bad but they were not great either. After making a few I realized they were not as good as I wanted them to be I never tired of making gloves, or sleeveless gloves, again. Until recently. I gifted my knitted socks to my boyfriend for Christmas and he kept making jokes that they were gloves, I made a complimentary joke saying I was going to make him some, though I didn't know if I actually would. Then I found this wonderful crochet sock pattern that I absolutely love and while working on them I realized they fit my hand perfectly, as well as my foot. And I decided I wanted to try and make a glove pattern, I found a pattern talking about just chaining to make an opening and I applied that to my pattern and it worked wonderfully. The worst thing though about gloves is they are impossible to picture on their own, they look really wonky I have no idea how people successfully take a picture of gloves on their own. But even though they do not look like gloves laying down they look perfect when they are put on. For these first ones I change the color of the thumb and I am not sure if I want to continue that but you can me your thumb the same color as the base of the glove, I was aiming for something similar to the sock there is an accent color as well as as the cuff.

Row 2: Chain 3, double crochet into the same stitch, place two double crochet into each stitch all the way around, slip stitch into the third chain at the beginning of the round. Row 3-21: Chain 3, double crochet all the way around in each stitch. Slip stitch into the third chain at the beginning. On row 2, after slip-stitching, fasten off to finish. I have always had trouble with sock patterns because I hate super complicated patterns with an insane amount of nonpattern increases and decreases. When I first started making socks I actually technically knitted them using a round loom and I do plan on writing out this pattern, even though it is knitting, it's something I used and they do make very cute socks. ...
