I see a lot of fingerless glove patterns, however not a lot of actual gloves. I have had some people tell me that they think that gloves are just too hard, well to this I disagree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a Fingerless Glove<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Turning any fingerless glove into an actual full fledged glove, is actually not that difficult. Begin with the basic fingerless glove, and if you want to create your own custom fit, check out more information here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark your fingers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your fingerless glove made, the next set is to put it one. Take 3 removable stitch markers (or safety pins), insert them between your fingers through both the front and back of the glove fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insert stitch markers of safety pins between the fingers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Join yarn anywhere along the finger edge of the fabric. If you were working a pattern that was stitched wrist to fingers, you can simply keep working the yarn from the last round without finishing off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start crocheting the “separations”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Work stitches, I recommend single crochet, evenly along edge. Work a slip stitch to the adjacent stitch (the one on the fabric on the other side of the hand) whenever you come to a stitch marker. This will create the \u201cseparation\u201d between the fingers. I even just work this technique when I am still just creating fingerless gloves. I feel like it helps them stay in place and not twist around my hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
When working the single crochets, slip stitch across the fabric on the opposite side of the glove to create the finger “separations”. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spiral your fingers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you begin to work on the opposite side of the hand, and come to a slip stitch, work a single crochet in the one leg of the slip stitch that is closest to the last single crochet worked. Single crochet in a spiral by working on the fabric side previously worked, and work a tube the length of your finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finish off your yarn, and join to fabric right next to the finger just made. Make the next finger working a stitch in the \u201cone leg\u201d of the slip stitch, of each side of the finger, and continue with the spiral method until the length meets your need. Repeat this of the remaining two fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Work a single crochet in “one leg” of the slip stitch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Make a thumb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Work the thumb in the same manner, joining to the edge of the thumbing opening and crocheting around it. However this opening may be much larger than the end of your thumb. Work two single crochet together (sc2tog)<\/a> once in the first and second round. Then continue until the desired length is reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Work the spirals until each finger is the desired length.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cinch them closed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prepare to weave in the ends. Thread the tails at the ends of the fingers through the stitches in the last round of each finger and pull tight to cinch closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Glove<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I do recommend that working fingers, it is best to use thinner weight yarn, nothing above a sport weigh (number 3). I usually work most of my gloves, and even fingerless gloves out of wool blended yarns that are either a fine or medium weigh (number 2 or 3). This is because anything heavier just becomes too bulky and feel clumsy on my hands. The nice thing about gloves is that you can complete a pair with only one hank of yarn, and feel really accomplished in your skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
