Pattern: Moss Stitch Fingerless Gloves

Here in Missouri, we're not done with winter yet! Well, maybe mentally but there's still snow on the ground! Inspired by a knit version my cousin shared with me from Etsy, these cute crocheted gloves are perfect for texting, holding on to the steering wheel without freezing your palms off, or just keeping your hands warm.

 

 

Materials: 

• size G hook
• size I hook
• worsted weight yarn
• two buttons
• scissors
• darning needle 
• stitch marker

Stitches/ Abbreviations Used (American terms):

• ch - chain
• sc - single crochet
• sk - skip
• slst - slip stitch
• fo - finish off

Notes: 

• try your glove on as you go to ensure it fits
• you will switch off between placing your marker in the first sc and first ch space after each round
• unless a number of stitches is specified, only skip/ chain/ single crochet one (i.e. *sc, ch, sk*)

FO and weave in ends. Sew to glove as pictured below.

Fold your glove in half so that the thumb hole is even on both sides (like it would be when you wear it). Sew the button on the outside, furthest from your thumb on the cuff, right below the row that joins the body of the glove to the cuff. Loop your strap around the button and sew the end of the strap underneath the thumb hole (see photo for clarification). Enjoy your gloves!
