Hannah Fingerless Gloves

Hannah Fingerless Gloves Designed by Sonya

What is Being Made

The Hannah Fingerless Gloves are a pair of open-hand crochet gloves designed to provide wrist and forearm coverage while leaving the fingers free for dexterity and tactile work. These gloves measure 8 inches in length and 8 inches in diameter, making them a versatile accessory suitable for various seasons and activities. The fingerless design offers practical warmth without sacrificing hand mobility, making them ideal for crafting, typing, or everyday wear in cooler weather.

Techniques and Construction

This crochet pattern employs fundamental techniques appropriate for beginner-level crafters. The gloves are constructed using two different hook sizes to create textural variation and proper fit. The pattern begins with a foundation chain worked on a 4.00mm hook, which is then increased in size to establish the main body of the glove. The construction alternates between rows of standard double crochet stitches and decorative double treble stitches, creating a textured surface pattern. After the main body reaches the desired length of 4½ inches, the pattern transitions to a 3.00mm hook for the finishing section, which provides a tighter gauge for the wrist area to ensure a secure fit.

Stitches Used

• Chain (ch): The foundational stitch used to create the initial base of the glove
• Double Crochet (dc): The primary stitch throughout the pattern, providing structure and a balanced fabric
• Double Treble (dtr): A taller stitch worked alternately with double crochet to create decorative texture and visual interest across the glove surface

The pattern uses a repeating two-row sequence: Row 2 alternates double treble and double crochet stitches (*dtr in next dc, dc in next dc; rep from * to end), while Row 3 returns to solid double crochet stitches across all stitches. This creates a consistent, attractive texture that repeats until the glove reaches the desired length.

Materials and Specifications

Each pair of Hannah Fingerless Gloves requires 2 x 50g balls of Sublime Natural Aran yarn, providing 200 meters of aran-weight yarn total. Aran-weight yarn is a medium thickness that works up quickly while maintaining good stitch definition and durability. The pattern calls for two crochet hooks: a 3.00mm hook and a 4.00mm hook. The 4.00mm hook is used for the main body of the gloves, while the 3.00mm hook creates a tighter tension for the finishing section at the wrist.

The recommended tension using the 3.00mm hook is 9 double crochet stitches by 10 rows equaling 2 inches by 2 inches. Achieving proper tension is important for ensuring the gloves fit correctly at the specified measurements of 8 inches in length and 8 inches in diameter.

Pattern Notes

The pattern is designed to make two gloves, indicated by the instruction "(make 2)" at the beginning of the directions. The gloves are worked flat in rows rather than in the round, with right side and wrong side designations provided for proper orientation. The pattern uses standard crochet abbreviations and includes detailed stitch definitions, such as the specific yarn-over technique required for the double treble stitch. This downloadable PDF pattern is suitable for beginners due to its straightforward stitch combinations and clear row-by-row instructions.
