Also known as gauntlets or wristlets… These go by many different names. This crochet version uses a rare stitch that is very fun and has a great texture.
Last month I was challenged to create a new pattern for a scarf, finger-less gloves or a pillow using a stitch I had never heard of- ch.sc.
I used two different hook sizes to create a fitted portion and then loose, fluffy portion to these gloves. It’s subtle, but lovely!
I am really REALLY tickled with how they turned out. I wore them all day today and fell more in love with them. I’m more of a green girl, but thought the burnt orange showed the stitches better for pictures as well as it’s a lovely color!

You don’t actually have to do the left and right thumb holes differently, but I don’t like my seams lines (however well they fit into the pattern) to show if I can help it. The way this pattern is written the seam actually runs diagonal, but I like the extra step of making SURE it’s in the back by taking care where I put the thumb holes!

Very cute project.
Ashlee
Thank you so very much!
Angie
This looks great. I’ve wanted some fingerless gloves for a while. Will try to whip these up tonight. Thanks for the tutorial!
Ashlee
How did it go? Easy enough to follow? I admit I crocheted the larger hook loose and the smaller hook tight!
Sarah
The are so cute!! I love the way they turned out with this stitch!!
Ashlee
Agreed! being constrained to one stitch I wasn’t sure how I’d give it shape and uniqueness, I felt inspired in the end and love how they turned out!
Amy
These are really cute. I’m bookmarking this because my girls would each love a pair of these. Not sure if I’m that ambitious but I may give it a try. Thanks!
Ashlee
Go for it! They are SUPER fast to whip up!
ChiWei
Looks awesome – I’ll have to give it a try! Thanks for sharing!
Ashlee
Thanks so much! They were really fast to throw together and while they are simple I love how they look and feel!

I know that stitch as the extended single crochet. I like it for the pattern and the looser stitch it creates. It isn’t as open as straight double crochet is so it creates a warmer garment.
I like your green gloves better too. Bold colours are pretty but not my personal preference.
Ashlee
It’s so hard to show stitches in a tutorial I think. Maybe if I swapped colors, or got a macro camera? or used a GINORMOUS hook?

I know this stitch as the single crochet foundation stitch….never thought about continuing on with it, but I LOVE IT! Will make single crochet projects go much faster! I make fingerless mitts for the gals I work with as we are located in a cold spot of our office building….this is going to be great fun! Thanks!
Ashlee
I wouldn’t have tried it if it wasn’t for this challenge I doubt I would have, but it was fun to try something new!
