Special Features:

- Beautiful shell stitch pattern throughout the glove
- Thumb gusset constructed with carefully placed increases
- Fingerless style for versatility
- Different seam placements for right and left hand for better fit

- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Pattern Steps
Step 1: Make the Cuff with Size 3 Hook
- Chain 16.
- Insert hook into second chain from hook, make 1 single crochet (sc), then 1 sc in each chain to end (15 sc total).
- Chain 1, turn.
Step 2: Work Back Loop Slip Stitch Ribbing – 35 Rows
- Work 15 sc in back loops only along the row (this creates an elastic band).
- Chain 1, turn.
- Repeat this row 35 times to form cuff length.
- After 35 rows, fold cuff in half.
Step 3: Close the Cuff Seam
- Using hook, fold cuff and work half single crochet (hsc) through matching stitches from edge and base to close the cuff.
- Continue around cuff edge to join seam securely. Keep using size 3 hook.
- Turn cuff right side out.
Step 4: Switch to Size 4 Hook for Glove Body
- To start glove body on cuff edge, work 37 single crochet stitches evenly around (35 cuff rows plus 2 increases for stitch count to match shell stitch pattern: multiple of 3 + 2).
- Make 2 increases spaced evenly during this round to get 37 sts total.
Step 5: Round 1 – Begin Shell Stitch Pattern
- Shell stitch: (1 sc, skip 2 sts, 5 double crochet (dc) in next st, skip 2 sts) around.
- Finish with 1 sc for a total of 7 shell groups around the cuff.
- Place stitch marker at the beginning of round.
Step 6: Shell Stitch Rounds 2 to 7
- Continue working shell stitch rounds in spiral, alternating placements so single crochets are centered over shells below, and vice versa.
- Work 7 rounds total of shell stitch to form glove body before thumb shaping.
Step 7: Round 8 – Begin Thumb Gusset
- Work shell stitch pattern normally until reaching thumb position (count seam and decide thumb location for left or right hand accordingly).
- At thumb gusset spot, work shell stitch plus an additional single crochet and a shell in same stitch to start increasing for thumb.
- Place stitch marker after this increase to mark start of thumb section.
Step 8: Rounds 9 and Beyond – Continue Thumb Shaping
- Work shell stitch around including thumb increases as you round the glove, placing extra shells and increases grouped around thumb gusset to widen thumb area.
- Skip stitches as per shell stitch, and continue placing single crochet between shell groups.
- Continue until thumb gusset fits comfortably (follow video for specific rounds 9 to 26 increases).
Step 9: Closing Thumb and Continuing Glove Body
- On rounds after thumb gusset completion, join thumb increases together by working shells that connect thumb section closed.
- Continue shell stitch pattern uninterrupted around remaining glove body.
Step 10: Finishing and Finger Opening
- After finishing main hand section, close off with 2 rounds of single crochet around top edge for clean finish.
- Use invisible join for seamless finish.
- Cut yarn and weave in all ends.
Step 11: Make Second Glove Adjustments (Right vs Left Hand)
- For left glove, start thumb increases after 2 shell groups.
- For right glove, start thumb increases after 5 shell groups—this keeps seam at the back of the hand for best fit.
- Follow same thumb shaping instructions with correct adjustment.
Tutor’s Suggestions:
- The 3-hook cuff gives more elasticity for easy wearable gloves.
- Use stitch markers to keep track of thumb increases.
- Wool yarn is recommended for warmth and stretch.
- Adjust cuff length by changing the number of rows in Step 2.
- Customize yarn colors for personal style.
Uses:
- Perfect for chilly weather while allowing finger flexibility for texting, driving, or crafting.
- Stylish enough for casual or outdoor wear.
- Makes a wonderful handmade gift.
Final Tip:
Keep your tension consistent, especially during cuff and thumb gusset increases, to ensure a comfortable and snug fit. If cuff feels too tight, try going up a hook size for cuff only.
Conclusion:
This detailed fingerless glove pattern combines functionality and beauty with a stretchy cuff and intricate shell stitch design. Whether for yourself or as a gift, mastering this pattern gives you cozy, charming gloves with the perfect thumb fit.
