There are some additional tutorial images near the bottom of this post that show you how to assemble the wedding gloves, and add the lace trim which may be helpful if you have never crocheted a fingerless bridal gloves pattern before.

These fingerless gloves are designed to come up just over the wrist joint on the bride’s arms. The lace stitches I used to design this fingerless glove pattern have lots of stretch so they should easily fit around most bride’s hands. I have included multiples so you can make them slightly longer if you wish.

If you are a mother or grandmother looking to crochet bridal gloves, for your daughter or granddaughter, know that your gift of lace fingerless gloves will make the bride’s wedding day extra special! Crocheting lace gloves for a wedding event is such a thoughtful gesture!

Difficulty:Intermediate/AdvancedMaterials Needed:1.5mm steel hook, or hook needed to obtain gauge1 Ball Aunt Lydia’s #10 crochet thread in “Ecru”scissorsyarn needle1 yard of ¼” satin ribbon2 pearl beads2 4mm metal snapsHeavy-duty button thread2 flowers made from my Delicate Flower Clip pattern

Stitches Used:sl st = slip stitchch= chainsc = single crochethdc = half double crochetdc = double crochet

Additional Terms:-3 dc cluster: this is basically a “dc3tog” in the same stitch: yo, pull up a loop, pull through two loops leaving 2 loops on your hook, yo, pull up a loop, pull through 2 loops leaving 3 loops on your hook, yo, pull up a loop, pull through 2 loops leaving 4 loops on your hook, yo, then pull through all 4 loops.-Working in the 3rd Loop of hdc – Instructions: Look at the top of the stitch, and locate the sideways “V”, bend the stitch to look at the back and you should see another “V” made by the “yarn over”. You’ll be working into the back loop of that “V”. This is called the 3rd loop.st/sts = stitch/stitchessp/sps = space/spaces

Gauge:For the edging, it’s 24 stitches to 3”

Measurements:3″ wide by 6″ tallBody, worked flat, should be 3 3/4″ tall, by 6″ wide before adding top/bottom edgings.Gloves should fit the average ladies hand.

Additional Notes:-For this pattern, ch-2 at beginning of new row counts as first dc in the body section. This keeps the edges relatively straight, which should be helpful when you go to crochet the edging.It is possible to make the gloves longer, so they could go up higher on the forearm, or even up to the elbow if your arms are thin enough. Work your beginning chain in multiples of 12 – 1, ie. 47, 59, 71, 83, etc. You may need to make the band at the top wider if they are to go up further. Work the top edging in multiples of 12, ie. 60, 72, 84.-See bottom of page for a short picture tutorial of the more difficult steps.

Body:

This is the part of the fingerless gloves that will wrap around the hand and wrist. The initial chain count will be the height, or how far up the wrist it goes, and the row 2 repeats provide the width or circumference. The lace stitch used is quite stretchy and will fit a broad range of women’s hand sizes. Once you finish crocheting the row 2 repeat you should have a nice rectangle shape.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Cut 18″ of 1/4″ ribbon in the color of your choice, weave it through round 4. It is important that this ribbon can tie around the wrist of the person this is intended for. It will be left untied until the gloves are put on, then it can be tied and the flower closed over the top of the bow, and fastened with a snap (keep reading for those instructions).

Make 2 flowers using this pattern: Delicate Flower Clip

Position flower over top of the ribbon band (round 4) on the opposite side of the glove as the thumb hole. Sew the bottom two petals to round 2, making sure not to sew into the ribbon in round 4.

Take a 4mm snap, and sew one side of the snap to the underside of the top flower petal. Sew the other side of the snap to round 6, making sure not to sew into the ribbon in round 4.

It’s helpful to double check your position here so the snaps line up and the flower is not pulled one way or the other.

Knot by wrapping the thread around the needle 4 or 5 times, and pulling the needle through, then fasten off securely. You may put a dot of hot glue on the ends of the thread to hold them down, or if you leave them long enough, just weave them in.
