The Paris Stitch

At the heart of these gloves is the pretty Paris Stitch, a beautiful and versatile stitch that gives the gloves their unique texture and design. This stitch is simple and repetitive, making it a relaxing project even for beginners. If you're looking to learn how to crochet fingerless gloves, mastering the Paris Stitch is a fantastic place to start.

A Quick Overview

We start with a 5mm hook for the foundation chain to ensure it's not too tight, then switch to a 4mm hook for the rest of the project. The pattern uses only simple basic stitches making this an ideal choice if you are only just learning the ropes.

Once the main body of the gloves is complete, we fold the piece in half, seam the edges, and leave a gap for the thumb. A simple whip stitch is used to join the seams, creating a neat and professional finish.

Adding the Final Touches

To finish off, we add a cuff and detail around the thumb. This not only enhances the glove's fit but also adds an extra layer of warmth and style. Working in the back loops of the stitches creates a textured effect, giving the gloves a snug and comfortable fit.

Personalization Tips

One of the great things about these gloves is their versatility. You can customize the thumb placement to your preference, whether you want more coverage at the top of your fingers or around your wrist. Adding a personalized label or tag can also make these gloves a wonderful gift for friends and family. Knowing how to crochet fingerless gloves allows you to tailor them perfectly to your needs.
