Basic Crochet Fingerless Gloves Free Pattern and Video Tutorial
I’m constantly inspired by the weirdest things when it comes to creating new patterns. One of them is Cosplay. I am a fan of anime, comics, and cosplay.
Many characters often use all kind of accessories, and gloves are a very popular piece in many comic or anime characters but is not always easy to find one that is the perfect color, shape or size.
For this, I created a very easy and basic pattern for a pair of crocheted fingerless gloves, with this simple and basic pattern, you can create so many varieties by simply changing colors, using other stitches, making it shorter o longer, adding buttons and other add-ons.
Use the pattern as is, or use it as a base for your own creations, your imagination is the limit.
To make it easier to show and explain I created a short video, showing the stitches used and how I put everything together, I also show you where you could add extra stitches and make it longer, or wider, and so on.
Even though you don’t need a pattern to create this basic fingerless glove, I still wanted to share it with everyone, so you could decide what works best for you to learn. You could first follow this pattern and then see how to adapt it, follow the video instructions and make your own from scratch, or combine the two, and start following the basic creation of these fingerless gloves and then add your own touch.

How nice..will pass this on to my crochet friends Im sure they will like your detail
Thank you! I’m glad you like it.
What size hook would I use for this pattern if I use worsted weight yarn?
A G would be nice, or the hook that your yarn label recommends.
This was a very easy pattern to follow. I made it in Patons Classic Wool Roving. I used a 5.5 mm hook & a couple less chains & it turned out perfect. I added a contrasting color to the top & bottom & around the thumb. Thank you so much for the pattern.
I’m glad you like it! And that was the idea behind a basic pattern. Provide a base, to add or take stitches, add colors, change yarn, etc. Make it your own creation!
If you post it on Instagram use the hashtag #craftytuts so I can see it! I would love to see your creation!
Your comment gave me inspiration for the crochet present I’m doing for a family member. Thanks!
I love the pattern, but I don’t understand the thumb opening. I would assume I’m skipping stitches somewhere in the later rounds but could you clarify that for me? Thanks so much for sharing! I’m making my first pair!!!
Forget it……I should have watched the video before I commented! Thanks again for sharing 🙂
You’re welcome. I’m glad you were able to find what you where looking to understand.
Still, I’m always here to help.
Wonderful easy to follow video and pattern. Thank you
I was just going to comment that’s there is not thumb hole instructions.
Rows 5 to 10 is to shape the thumb. You go from rounds to rows, without closing with a slip stitch on said rounds. An opening for the thumb will be created.
I’ve a diagonal join which is fine but turning the gloves the right way round, I end up with one diagonal showing on the top of the glove and one not.
Sorry dear, but I am completely lost. I have no idea what you’re asking. Can you try to say it in another way so I can help you?
I’m a total crochet newbie; this will be my first actual project. I keep ending up with extra stitches, I figure I must be stitching into the chain, hmm. I’m wondering if the slip stitch to close is really necessary? Couldn’t fingerless gloves be made like a continuous coil off the base chain?
Thanks for the free pattern! It’s just what I needed. 🙂
Feel free to adapt the pattern to your needs and what works best for you!
I like to close it with slip stitch, but is also totally doable as a spiral.
Hi, i am also new. I have started the fingerless gloves but something is wrong and don’t understand what. I want to send you the picture but how?
Hi, if you have Instagram, you can share a photo and tag me @craftytuts so I can see it and you can explain what you think happened, so I can try to help you fix it
Oh sorry i don’t have instagram, any way i am trying again hope this time it will be ok ? Thank you so much ?
Are you stitching your single crochet in the same stitch as your slip stitch? And where is your slip stitch going, into just the back loop or into the stitch?
You can see that in the video. I think it will help you see where I place all my stitches.
Hope that helps 🙂
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I wanted to let you know that I am sharing it with my readers this Friday (12/07) as an idea for a great stocking stuffer they can DIY this holiday season @ assistantmelissa.com. I mentioned that if they make one, to link it to your IG account with the @craftytuts tag. Happy holidays!
Thank you, that’s very sweet of you! 🙂
I have made dozens of these in various lengths and colors. People love them.
It makes me really happy that my pattern and tutorial helped you create and that people are enjoying your creations. Best wishes!! ❤
I love the video tutorials, but this one is hard to see the stitches with the lighting and light colored yarn. If you’re not a beginner then maybe you can figure it out.
Thank you for your feedback!
I will keep this in mind for future tutorials and see to recreate this one with better quality
