I also have a really cute TC Twist headband pattern that would look great with fingerless mittens HERE.
Materials:
– H crochet hook, 5.00 mm
– Medium worsted weight yarn. I used Red Heart Super Saver in “Aran” for the neutral color and Loops and Threads Impeccable in “Fall Leaves” for the contrasting color (I recommend any of Loops and Threads Impeccable variegated yarn for the color contrast. The color switches quickly and gives a great result!)
– Blunt needle
Abbreviations:
ch- chain
st(s)- stitches
sk- skip
sc- single crochet
dc- double crochet
sl st- slip stitch
MC – main color
Note:
When changing colors, do not fasten off the previous color.
Pick up the new color when you get to the next row.
IMPORTANT:
- You will be working in the BLO for the rows made with the main color.
- You will be working in the third loops only for the rows made with the contrasting color.
For the cuff:
With MC, ch 10
Row 1-18: Sc in back loops, ch 1, turn. (9)
Fold in half and sl st ends together through both loops.
Right and left hand:
Row 1: Ch 1, evenly space 25 sc around, sl st to join (25).
Continue to work in the round, add stitch marker here to keep track of rows.
Row 1: With MC ch 2, dc in each st around, sl st to join (25).
Row 2: Switch to contrasting color and ch 1. Sc in each st around, sl st to join (25).
Row 3: Switch back to mc and ch 2. Dc in each st around, sl st to join (25).
Repeat rows 2 and 3, 2 more times.
Row 8: Switch to contrasting color and ch 1. Sc 10, ch 4, sk next 4 sts (for thumb), sc next 11 sts (25).
Row 9: Switch to MC and ch 2. Dc around (dc in the ch 4 you made in the previous row) (25).
Row 10: Switch to contrasting color and ch 1. Sc in each st around (25).
Row 11: Switch back to MC and ch 2. Dc in each st around (25).
Row 12: Switch to contrasting color and ch 1. Sc in each st around (25).
Row 13 (working in 3rd loop only): Switch back to MC and ch 1. Sc in each st around (25). Fasten off and weave in ends.
You’re done! Enjoy your new TC crochet fingerless gloves!
Pin it for later!
Thank you for the fingerless glove pattern i am looking forward to trying it.
What do you mean , work in the third lope only? I have never run into that before.
Respectfully
Marj
I didn’t run into BLO or 3rd loop. Please help me.
Hi Marj! The third loop only is the loop directly behind the back loop. I have a video for the matching hat that demonstrates this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ynFXK6id-k&t=15s
I just printed off a copy of this pattern to give it a try, saw your post regarding the “3rd loop” and “BLO – back look only”? I think Laura is meaning, maybe, doing a “post stitch” to the back of the stitch below?? At least that is what it looks like to me in the picture. Hope this help anyone else, too, that’s questioning this. :>) I hope you’re still popping in here since I did notice your question was asked a couple of years ago, okay?
Hi. I’m trying these now. I’m struggling with the first row after the cuff. I can’t get 25 sc. plus they seem to be tight every time I try. Any tips please.
Hi! Carrie-Ann :>) I just saw this pattern and am going to give it try, since I can’t seem to find my other pattern for fingerless gloves/mittens. I love the stitches Laura used! I’m thinking that the “3rd loop” stitch is perhaps a post stitch, worked behind the stitch of the row before?? At least that’s what I’m going to try anyway. The “BLO” stitch is a back loop only stitch, in case you didn’t know that. How many stitches are you getting after the cuff? Maybe try working 20-22 stitches starting in those rows of 18 stitches, see if that will help with the tightness and makes them a little bigger or stretchier? I hope this helps you out. I’m getting ready to see how I do on this pattern.. Good Luck, I hope maybe you were able to figure out the working back when you posted this question.
