Free Crochet Pattern: Double Crochet Gloves | Winter Edition

This is a crocheted piece.

I tried my hand at crocheting some basic long knit gloves.
I hope to be able to use this as a base and make various adjustments.

First of all, the size. I have small hands, so I think it turned out to be quite small compared to the average size. For reference, my hand is 15.5cm long (up to the tip of my middle finger) and 7.5cm wide (around the base of my four fingers).
Please refer to the instructions at the end of the instructions for how to adjust the size.

The other thing to consider is the yarn selection. Crochet yarns tend to end up being bulky, so I prefer medium-fine yarn. These gloves are made of cotton-wool medium-fine yarn, which feels a little more delicate than cotton or linen medium-fine yarn.
Try making your own original gloves by arranging them in various ways.

Instructions

Please refer to the knitting pattern along with the instructions for how to make it.
*The stitch at the base of the finger at the top of the knitting pattern is drawn as a chain stitch to make it easier to see, but in reality it is the start of a double crochet.

① Before you start knitting the main part, cut off enough yarn to knit 9 chain stitches and set it aside. You will use this yarn to attach the yarn at the thumb attachment position and knit the 9 chain stitches.

② Start knitting a chain cast-on on both sides of the glove. The piece in the picture has a standard chain cast-on, but we recommend using a stretchy cast-on as it will be easier to put on and take off the gloves if there is some stretch.How to knit a "stretchy cast-on"Please refer to the page.
To cast on, knit 56 chain stitches, then pull through the first stitch to make a loop.

③ Rows 1 to 11 are worked in double crochets with the same number of stitches.
If you made a standard cast-on, scoop up one strand of the chain on the other side of the cast-on and the back of the crest and knit the first row.
When knitting the thumb attachment position, attach the yarn prepared in step ① and knit 9 chain stitches.
In the 12th row, for the 9-stitch chain part, crochet 9 double crochets by scooping up one stitch on the other side of the chain and the back of the knot (do not crochet into a bundle).

④Continue knitting until the 16th row without increasing or decreasing the number of stitches.
On the 17th row, make a turn in an alligator stitch, leaving 13 stitches where the little finger should be attached. Once you have finished knitting the main body up to this point, cut the yarn.

⑤ Knit the fingers.
For the thumb, start by attaching the yarn to the side of the main body where the stitches are raised (where they won't be noticeable), then pick up 20 stitches in one go and work in double crochet.
Continue knitting up to the 7th row without increasing or decreasing the number of stitches, then in the 8th row, knit 2 stitches once and reduce the number of stitches to 10, then pass the yarn through the head of the double crochet in the final row and tie it.

Next are the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger.
I'll explain starting from the right.
For the ring finger, attach the yarn to the triangle on the left side of the pattern, and pull out the ▲ stitch at the end of the dotted line. From there, chain three stitches to stand up, and continue knitting until you have 16 double crochets in one round.
For the middle finger, attach the yarn to the △ on the right side, pull out the ▲ stitch, and knit in the same way until you have made 16 double crochets in one round.
For the index finger, attach the yarn to an inconspicuous position around the triangle on the right side and knit 16 double crochets around the entire circumference.
All three fingers are knitted with the same number of stitches up to the 10th row.
On the 11th row, double all stitches to reduce to 8 stitches, then thread the yarn through the top of the double crochet in the last row and tie it off.

With your left hand, use your index finger to attach the yarn to the triangle on the left side of the knitting pattern, pull it out, and continue knitting from there.
For the middle finger, attach the yarn to the △ on the right side, pull out the ▲, and knit in the same way.
For the ring finger, start knitting by attaching the yarn to an inconspicuous position around the triangle on the right side.
The number of stitches, rows, reductions and finishing method are the same as for the right hand.

For the little finger, start by attaching the yarn in an inconspicuous location near the "attach yarn" symbol on the knitting pattern, and knit 14 double crochets in one go.
After knitting the first 7 rows without increasing or decreasing the number of stitches, on the 8th row, crochet every stitch twice to reduce the number to 7 stitches, then pass the yarn through the head of the double crochet in the final row and tie it off.

[Size adjustment]
If you only need to make small changes to the size, it would be a good idea to adjust it by using thread that is one size thicker or thinner, or by changing the size of the crochet hook.
If you want to make a big change, add 8 stitches to the cast-on to make it 64 stitches, and then add 2 stitches for each finger at the base of the four fingers to distribute the stitches. Also try adding 2 stitches at the thumb (1 on the main body and 1 on the side where you will knit after attaching the chain).
If you want to make it smaller, cast on by reducing 8 stitches to make it 48 stitches, and then adjust it in the same way as if you were making it larger, in the opposite direction.

Mikan's "Knitted Gloves"

This is my first post!
I've always wanted to knit five-finger gloves, but all the patterns in books and other sources call for knitting needles. I'm not very good with knitting needles, so I had given up on knitting five-finger gloves... but then I found the pattern on this website and my excitement immediately increased!
I knitted this with my favorite sports brand in mind v(^^*)

The yarn I used was multi-colored, so I would like to use this knitting pattern as a reference and try knitting it in single crochet using multi-color yarn next time.
Thank you so much for publishing the knitting pattern♪ヽ(´▽｀)/
