ESC Easy Crochet Pattern for Fingerless Gloves
This easy crochet pattern for fingerless gloves is not only easy to whip up, but it’s also an easy pattern to adjust to any size you need from small to large.
These ESC fingerless gloves are a match for my ESC Hat and Cowl set. It’s the perfect gift set for someone who lives in cooler climates.
I used an economic yarn, but a luxurious yarn that gives you a similar gauge would make it even better. Especially if you’ll be making them as gifts.
The Finished Size
The finished size is 4 inches across and 6 inches long when laid flat. But you can increase the size if you need to in a multiple of two. There are two sizes given for the thumbhole if you need to make it bigger.
The Yarn
Red Heart Comfort is one of the most economic yarns available on the market. It’s not the greatest to work with, but it softens a lot in the wash. So it’s definitely not a bad yarn, but if feel free to work this with any similar yarn that you like.
Red Heart Comfort
The Stitch Pattern
These gloves are started at the wrists with ribbing, which is worked with single crochets in the back loops only. Then, join the ribbing and begin working in rounds for the hands.
The rounds are worked with the extended single crochet and chain one spaces.
I worked my stitches directly on top of each other, but for a variation you could also work them in between the stitches. One of my testers did that and it looked really nice. So it’s up to you how you work it.
