15 Crochet Patterns for Fingerless Gloves (All Free!)
Are you looking for some easy fingerless gloves patterns you can crochet? If so, I’ve rounded up some of the best crochet fingerless gloves you can make for the Fall and Winter.
Each of these patterns are free and just happen to be some of my favorite fingerless gloves crochet pattern designs too! Enjoy!
Why You’ll Love These Fingerless Gloves
A couple of years ago, I designed a pair of fingerless gloves that are modern and simple to crochet, which, in my opinion, are probably the two best things about any type of crochet pattern!
These glove patterns are a great way to stay cozy and keep your hands from the freezing cold. However, no finger crochet gloves are even better because your hands can stay warm, and you will still be able to use your phone since your fingers are free.
If you are a beginner crocheter or newer crocheter who is looking for a fast project, then this type of glove design is the one for you.
Types of Fingerless Gloves
There are three main types of crocheted fingerless gloves. They all fall under the same category, but each has its own little wrinkle to make it special.
- Individual Finger Holes: These gloves have five-finger holes similar to a normal glove, but the tips of each of them are cut off.
- Fingerless Mittens: Gloves that utilize the mitten-style do not make holes for each finger. Instead, these patterns have one large opening for all fingers to stick out of. They do, however, usually have a separate hole for your thumb.
- Hoodie-style: Some fingerless gloves have a sort of hood that flips up to cover the fingers when they aren’t needed to do finger things. When the hood is closed, the glove resembles a closed up mitten.
Certain fingerless glove patterns will also feature a longer wrist warmer section that will extend down the forearm of the wearer. However, this is a small feature that could easily be added to any glove pattern shown here.
Sizing Fingerless Glove Patterns
The first step to correctly sizing your crochet fingerless gloves pattern is to take correct measurements of your hand. After measuring your hand’s circumference and length, you can decide which size (small, medium, large, etc.) is right for you.
If it’s not possible to take a measurement of the eventual wearer of your project, then you’ll need to make a best-guess estimate. There is no easy way to do it, but certain sizes are more common for different genders and age groups.
- Adult men will usually fit inside the Large to Extra Large sizes.
- Adult women typically fit best in the Medium to Large sizes.
- The rest are for varying age groups of children and teens.
Tips for Crocheting Fingerless Mittens
Fingerless mittens are an awesome crochet project to make. Here are some tips that will help you crochet your first pair easily.
- Choose the Right Yarn: Go for something soft and warm, like wool or a wool blend. Check the yarn label for recommended hook size.
- Gauge Matters: Always make a gauge swatch first to make sure your mittens fit perfectly. You don’t want them too tight or too loose.
- Ribbing: Use front and back post stitches for the wrist part. It’ll give you a snug fit and add a nice touch.
- Keep It Symmetrical: Make sure you keep count of your stitches for each mitten, so they come out the same size. A stitch marker can help here.
- Test As You Go: Try the mitten on as you go to make sure it’s comfy and adjust as needed.
