Tips for Making Crochet Fingerless Gloves
Here are a few tips for crocheting your next pair of fingerless gloves.
Choose the right yarn.
Regardless of the pattern you choose for your gloves, it’s important to take note of the suggested yarn for that particular pattern. Check both the recommended weight and the fiber content before deciding on your yarn.
You can always substitute yarns – just be sure to check your gauge and use the same yarn weight for the best results.
Check gauge and pattern size.
Whether you use the suggested yarn or another yarn, it’s always important to check your gauge – especially for projects like gloves that need to be a specific size. If your gauge swatch works up too large or too small, you’ll want to adjust your hook size accordingly.

A number of the patterns below include instructions for multiple sizes of gloves. It’s best to measure your hand to make sure you choose the correct size.
Use a stretchy stitch pattern for the cuff, like ribbing.
You might notice that the cuffs (around the fingers, arm, and sometimes the thumb) of these patterns are usually made of a different stitch pattern than the rest of the gloves. Most often, it’s some type of ribbing. Ribbing helps your mitts to stay snugly on your hand without slipping off.
Try on your gloves as you crochet to check the fit.
One of the benefits of making your own fingerless gloves is that you can try them on as you go to ensure that they fit just right. If the hand portion is too tight or too loose, you can go back and either take out or add a couple of stitches.
Additionally, most patterns make it easy to customize the arm length of your gloves by adding or subtracting a few rows.
