Welcome back to my blog! Today I am sharing with you my FREE pattern for “Granny’s Fingerless Gloves”. I will be sharing the pattern step by step with you – that even if you are a beginner you will be able to make these fingerless gloves!!

This is probably the most simple and easy Granny Square Glove pattern out there. You will absolutely LOVE your gloves and LOVE the process! I am a granny square lover because they are so easy to make and the best project for using up some scrap yarns. The color possibilities with granny squares are endless too!

This pattern is size graded using a fine lightweight yarn, but I have also included instructions on how to use any yarn/hook that you want by using your own custom measurements and tweaking a few things here and there. Everything is included in the pattern below! I even have tons of pictures to help you along the way.

I had an amazing group of crocheters help me test out this pattern – take a look at all of their creations and color combos on my Instagram or in the inexpensive ad-free PDF <3

This pattern is size graded to fit an adult but I also included Made-To-Measure instructions so you can ultimately use any yarn & hook that you want and create any size glove that you want! It is up to you! Keep scrolling for the complete written pattern!

Measurements

This is a graded pattern designed to fit adults.

For a custom fit follow the measurement below.

Measurement A = measure across the width of the palm of your hand.

Let’s get started!

Pattern – Granny Squares

Notes: Each square is worked from the middle outwards and worked in the spaces between stitches. I switched colors each round. If you are making a solid color square – instead of cutting your yarn and rejoining each row, you can keep the same working yarn and continue the pattern of your granny square by a) working a slip stitch in a few stitches until you get to a space, or b) turn your work after each round.

Complete 4 rounds for an adult size. If made-to-measure, complete rounds until your square reaches Measurement A.

To Start: Grab your first color and create a magic circle OR chain 4 and join to the first chain made with a slip stitch to form a ring

Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as dc), work 2 more dc into ring *ch 2, work 3 dc into ring. Repeat from * two more times, ch 2, then join with a slip stitch into 3rd chain of the beginning chain 3. You should have 4 “clusters” and 4 ch 2 spaces as the corners. Fasten off yarn.

Round 2: Attach your yarn to a ch 2 sp. Ch 3 (counts as a dc) then work [2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc] all in that same space. *Work [3 dc, 2 ch, 3 dc] into next chain 2 space. Repeat from * two more times then join with slip stitch into 3rd chain of beginning chain 3. You should have 8 “clusters”, 4 ch 2 spaces as the corners, and 4 sides with 1 space between clusters in each side. Fasten off yarn.

Round 3: Attach your yarn to a corner ch 2 sp. Ch 3 (counts as a dc) then work 2 dc, ch 2, and 3 dc all in that same space. Make 3 dc in the next space between clusters. Then in the next corner ch 2 space you will *work [3 dc, 2 ch, 3 dc]. Then 3 dc in the next space. Repeat from * two more times then join with a slip stitch into the 3rd chain or the beginning chain 3. You should have 12 “clusters”, 4 ch 2 spaces as the corners, and 4 sides with 2 spaces between clusters in each side. Fasten off yarn.

Round 4: Follow the pattern in Round 3, by working 3 dc in the spaces on the sides and [3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc] in the corners. You should have 16 “clusters”, 4 ch 2 spaces as the corners, and 4 sides with 3 spaces between clusters in each side. Fasten off yarn.

Repeat to make 4 squares.

Seaming

Lay out your squares like below, with the “right sides” facing up. The space between the stitch markers indicate where you will leave your thumb hole open. You will only sew up halfway up the thumb side, then fold the squares over and seam up the opposite sides. You are welcome to seam them up however you like. I chose to do the mattress stitch join.

Sleeve Cuffs

Attach your yarn to the corner near the thumb opening cuff, so it can be easily hidden. Tip: you may consider sizing down your hook to create a tighter cuff.

Row 1: Ch 10, or however long you want your cuff to be. Sc in the second chain from hook and in the next 8 chains. Sl st into the next stitch on the granny square, and sl st again to the next stitch.

Row 2: Turn. Skip the 2 slip stitches and work back in the cuff. Sc blo in the next 9 stitches. Ch 1 and turn.

Row 3: Sc blo in each of the 9 stitches. Sl st into the next stitch in the square, and sl st again to the next.

Repeat row 2 & 3 all the way around. Then fasten off your yarn with a long tail and use that tail to seam your ribbing cuff closed, working on the “wrong side” or the inside so your seam is hidden.

Do the same for the other fingerless glove.

Edging

Now you will add a sc border around the top opening of your fingerless gloves and then your thumb hole.

Attach your yarn to any stitch, I recommend doing it around the inside seam so it can be easily hidden.

Ch 1, sc in the same stitch and in each stitch around. Sl st to your first st and then fasten off. Tip: continue doing rounds to lengthen the edging if desired.

Repeat the same pattern above working around the thumb hole. Tip: continue doing rounds to lengthen the thumb edging if desired.

Weave in all ends and…

You’re all done!
