Tutor’s Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Starting the Glove Base

1. Create a Slip Knot and Foundation Chain:
   • For a size small, chain 26. If making medium or large, add 2 chains for each size increment. Ensure the total number of chains is even.
2. Join the Round:
   • Slip stitch to the first chain, creating a foundation circle. Be careful not to twist the chain.
3. Round 1 (Foundation Row):
   • Chain 1, then work one single crochet (SC) into each chain around, totaling 26 single crochets.
   • Slip stitch to the first SC to close the round.

2. Creating the Netting Pattern

1. Round 2 (Start the Netting):

   • Chain 4 (this counts as a double crochet + chain 1).
   • Skip the next stitch and double crochet (DC) into the stitch after.
   • Chain 1, skip one stitch, and double crochet into the next stitch. Repeat all the way around.
   • At the end of the round, slip stitch into the 2nd chain of the starting chain-4.

2. Rounds 3-5:

   • Repeat the same process: Chain 4, double crochet into the top of the previous round's double crochet, chain 1, and continue.

3. Adding the Thumbhole

1. Customization for Left and Right Gloves:

   • For one glove, after completing 10 double crochets, skip the next one, chain 3, and continue the netting pattern. This will form a gap for the thumbhole.
   • For the second glove, adjust the thumbhole’s placement so the seam lies on the inside of the hand.

2. Round 6 and Beyond:

   • For both gloves, work the thumbhole gap into your pattern by double crocheting above every stitch, including over the thumbhole gap.
   • Continue until you’ve completed 10 rows of netting.

4. Adding the Edges

1. Single Crochet Border (Basic Edging):

   • Add one round of single crochet along the top and bottom edges for a clean, minimalist finish.

2. Picot Edging (Decorative Option):

   • After the single crochet border, chain 2, and insert your hook into the front two loops of the previous stitch. Slip stitch to create a small point (picot). Add a single crochet in the next stitch, then repeat the picot process around each edge.

3. Ruffle Edging (Dramatic Option):

   • Work 5 double crochets into every stitch along the edge to create voluminous ruffles. Use a half-double crochet at the top of the glove for a slightly less dramatic effect.

5. Optional Thumb Sleeves

1. Adding Rows to the Thumbhole:
   • Insert your hook into the thumbhole’s edge and chain 4. Work six double crochets across the gap.
   • Create a total of two rows and finish with a single crochet row for a polished look.

Tutor's Suggestions

• Ensure an Even Chain Count: Starting with an even number of chains is critical for maintaining the netting pattern.
• Position Your Seam Thoughtfully: Align the seam so it sits on the inside of the hand for a more professional look.
• Experiment with Edges: Try different border styles to match your personal taste or the occasion.
• Sizing Tip: The acrylic yarn provides some stretch. Start with a snug fit as the gloves will relax slightly with wear.

Uses

• Practical Wear: Perfect for chilly days when you want to keep your hands warm while still being able to use your fingers for tasks like typing or texting.
• Fashion Accessory: Ruffled or picot-edged gloves are eye-catching and fun, making them great for festivals, costume parties, or adding flair to casual outfits.
• Gifting: Handmade gloves make thoughtful and customizable gifts for friends and family.

Tip for Success

To achieve a more polished and comfortable finish, weave in yarn tails into the stitches as you crochet the edging. This saves you from having to tidy it up at the end and ensures a cleaner appearance.

Conclusion

These fingerless gloves are more than just a practical project, they’re an opportunity to combine elegance, functionality, and creativity. With variations that suit both beginners and seasoned crocheters, these gloves can be personalized with different borders, sizes, and colors to fit any occasion or style.
