Colorful Fingerless Gloves

Materials

• Variegated worsted-weight yarn (~100g) in a multicolor rainbow colorway
• 5mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends
• Stitch markers
• Scissors

The process

I started with a foundation chain sized to fit around the wrist, then joined it into a round. The body is worked in continuous rounds of half double crochet — the stitch creates a nice dense fabric that still has a little stretch. The variegated yarn did all the color work for me, cycling through pink, teal, yellow, blue, and green as I went.

For the thumb opening, I simply skipped about 8 stitches on one round and chained the same number across the gap, then carried on as normal. Once the glove reached the base of the fingers, I finished off with a round of slip stitches to give a tidy edge.

I made the second glove by mirroring the thumb gap on the opposite side — though honestly, with the fingerless style, both gloves look nearly identical either way.

Tips & lessons learned

• Check your gauge before starting — wrist circumference matters a lot for comfort.
• When using variegated yarn, start both gloves at the same point in the color repeat so they match as closely as possible.
• Weave in your ends as you go — the textured fabric makes it easy to hide them.
• A round of single crochet at the cuff edge makes it feel more polished.
