Aspen Fingerless Gloves

Aspen Fingerless Gloves by Burgundy & Blush

What Is Being Made

The Aspen Fingerless Gloves are a pair of beginner-friendly crochet fingerless mittens designed to be chunky and cosy without requiring bulky yarn. These gloves feature a ribbed wrist construction and are worked in aran or worsted weight yarn, making them quick to complete while maintaining a substantial, warm appearance.

Techniques Used

This pattern employs the Alpine Stitch as its primary construction technique, which creates texture and visual interest through alternating rows of double crochet and front post double crochet stitches. The ribbed wrist section uses single crochet worked in the back loop to create a fitted, elastic edge. The pattern also incorporates decreases to shape the fingerless mitt structure, making it suitable for beginners who are ready to move beyond basic stitches.

Stitches Used

• Single Crochet (SC) – used for the ribbed wrist foundation
• Double Crochet (DC) – forms the base of the Alpine Stitch pattern
• Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC) – alternated with double crochet to create the distinctive Alpine Stitch texture
• Chain (CH) – used for foundation and turning chains
• Slip Stitch (SS) – for joining rounds
• Decreases – incorporated for shaping the mitt

Materials Required

This project requires minimal yardage and tools. You will need less than 100 grams of aran weight yarn (also suitable for worsted weight), a 4.0mm crochet hook, scissors, and a needle for weaving in finishing ends. The gauge for the ribbed wrist section should measure between 1.5 to 2 inches tall and 3 inches wide when joined and laid flat.

Difficulty Level

Rated as beginner friendly, this pattern introduces crocheters to front post stitches and basic shaping through decreases while remaining accessible to those new to fingerless mitt construction.
