Step-by-Step Guide: Crochet Moss Stitch Fingerless Gloves

Crochet Fingerless Gloves

Cro­chet­ing a pair of fin­ger­less gloves is a fun and prac­ti­cal project, espe­cial­ly when you use the moss stitch tech­nique to cre­ate a cozy, tex­tured design. Whether you’re mak­ing them for your­self or as a gift for loved ones, these fin­ger­less mitts are per­fect for the win­ter sea­son when you want to keep your hands warm but still need your fin­gers free for tex­ting, typ­ing, or oth­er activ­i­ties. This free cro­chet pat­tern will guide you step-by-step through mak­ing beau­ti­ful and func­tion­al fin­ger­less gloves, using basic cro­chet stitch­es like sin­gle cro­chet (sc) and slip stitch­es (sl st). Per­fect for begin­ner cro­cheters, this pat­tern offers a sim­ple way to cre­ate cus­tom gloves that fit your own hands using worsted weight yarn and a stan­dard mm hook.

The beau­ty of this fin­ger­less glove pat­tern lies in its sim­plic­i­ty. The main stitch used is the moss stitch, which con­sists of alter­nat­ing sin­gle cro­chet and chain spaces. This stitch pat­tern cre­ates a love­ly, tex­tured fab­ric that’s both stretchy and warm. To begin, you’ll cre­ate a foun­da­tion chain, and then start work­ing in the round, using slip stitch­es (sl st) to con­nect the rows and keep the gloves seam­less. A stitch mark­er is essen­tial to keep track of where each row begins and ends, espe­cial­ly when you’re work­ing in the round.

The best part about this pat­tern is the abil­i­ty to cus­tomize the gloves to your actu­al hand mea­sure­ment. By adjust­ing the num­ber of rows or using dif­fer­ent hook sizes, you can make gloves that fit per­fect­ly. As you work through the pat­tern, you’ll make a thumb hole by skip­ping a set of stitch­es, cre­at­ing a gap that will allow your thumb to move freely. The pat­tern also gives you the option to change col­or at dif­fer­ent points, adding some flair to your gloves. Whether you want a sol­id-col­ored pair or a mul­ti­col­ored design, the free pat­tern accom­mo­dates both, and the video tuto­r­i­al is a help­ful guide for any tricky spots. Don’t for­get to use a tapes­try nee­dle to weave in any loose ends and ensure your gloves look pol­ished at the end.

If you want to cre­ate wrist warm­ers or even a match­ing scarf, the moss stitch also works well for oth­er acces­sories. The pat­tern allows for easy adjust­ments, so you can cre­ate gloves in dif­fer­ent sizes—perfect for fam­i­ly or friends. Whether you’re mak­ing a sec­ond mit­ten or adding a wrist strap for extra sup­port, this writ­ten pat­tern offers flex­i­bil­i­ty in how you approach your project. You can even adjust the desired length by sim­ply repeat­ing rows until you reach the widest point of your hand, mak­ing them as short or long as you pre­fer.

Mak­ing a pair of fin­ger­less gloves with this moss stitch cro­chet pat­tern is a great way to add a hand­made touch to your win­ter wardrobe. These gloves are not only func­tion­al, pro­vid­ing warmth and free­dom of move­ment, but they are also styl­ish with their tex­tured design and cus­tomiz­able fit.
