Any Size Fingerless Crochet Gloves
These any size fingerless crochet gloves are a match for my any size hat and scrap cowl, set. The gloves crochet up quick and easy and can be crocheted up for adults, teens, and even young children. You basically start off with any multiple of two in order to get the correct circumference. Then for the thumb, it naturally creates a large thumb opening, which you can somewhat adjust in size by the number of stitches that you crochet along that edge.
My favorite thing about these gloves is the texture of the fabric. Instead of a ribbed edge over the wrist I added a beaded row in a different color. I made mine short, but you could easily increase them to cover the arm as well.

The Size
The Size is given for one size, to fit a small adult. If you need a larger or smaller size, you can do so by adjusting your starting chains in any multiple of 2.
The Yarn
I used Caron Simply Soft. It’s a medium weight acrylic yarn. The yarn does not offer much stretch, but you can always substitute with something more comfortable like Vanna’s Choice. Just note that if you choose a different yarn and hook size that the finished size will also come out a different size.

The Stitch Pattern
These gloves are started at the wrist and worked towards the fingers. The first two rounds are with single crochets, followed by a bead stitch round, and another two rounds of single crochets.
For the main part of the gloves, the half double cross stitch is used to given them a nice texture. I’ve added an opening for the thumb, followed by another few rounds to bring the length up to the knuckles.
