DIRECTIONS for Honeycomb Fingerless Gloves
RIBBING
(YouTube - 1:11 - Crochet Ribbing)
This pattern begins with the ribbing, worked flat in rows. The ribbing is made extra long so it can be folded in half.
Directions:
Option 1 – Foundation Chain (YouTube - 1:50 - Foundation Chain & Row 1)
Ch 21
Row 1: HDC in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each ch across. (20 sts). Ch 1, turn. (Continue with Row 2)
OR
Option 2 – Foundation Half Double Crochet (YouTube - 5:49 - Foundation Half Double Crochet)
20 FHDC - This counts as Row 1. Ch 1, turn..
ROW 2 - your desired length - HDC in the BLO of the first stitch and in the BLO of each stitch across. Ch 1, turn.
Little tip: Check the fit around your wrist with the ribbing folded in half. Keep in mind that the ribbing is stretchy. For my size, I worked 18 rows.
MAIN BODY
Switch to your new colour and begin working the glove along the long edge of the ribbing.
Directions (Honeycomb Stitch)
Insert your hook into the last stitch of the last ribbing row. Place the new yarn colour over the hook and pull through. Ch 1 to secure the join. Make 1 SC in the same stitch.
ROW 1 - Then SC all across the row. Ch 1. Turn.
Please note:
There is no specific stitch count for this row. Insert your hook evenly and intuitively along the ribbing edge.
There are 2 rules:
1) Make slightly more SC stitches than the number of ribbing rows. Half double crochet stitches are wider than single crochet stitches, so one ribbing row does not equal one SC.
2) End with an even number of stitches. The honeycomb stitch requires an even stitch count to work correctly.
Don’t worry about being perfectly precise here—what matters most is even spacing and ending with an even number of stitches.
ROW 2 - SC in each st across the row. After completing this row, fasten off and cut the yarn.
Unfortunately the honeycomb stitch with two colours creates multiple yarn tails. To avoid feeling overwhelmed at the end, it’s best to weave in the ends as you go.
ROW 3 - Join your colour A and make SC into the first st. Next insert your hook into the next stitch, working into the row below, and make a SC spike stitch. (You are pulling the loop up to the height of the current row.) Then keep alternating regular SC into the next stitch and Spike Stitch into the next stitch of the row below.
Continue working across the row, alternating stitches as instructed, and finish with a spike stitch in the last stitch. Fasten off and cut the yarn, then turn.
ROW 4 - Join Colour B, ch 1, and make 1 SC in the first stitch. Insert your hook under the next two vertical legs of the “Vs” shape from the previous row, yarn over, pull up a loop, then complete the stitch as a SC (yarn over and pull through both loops). Make 1 regular SC in the next stitch. Continue alternating between SC worked through the two legs and regular SC across the row.
At the end of the row, make 1 SC in each of the last two stitches, then fasten off and cut the yarn. Turn.
ROW 5 - Join the yarn with ch 1 in the first stitch, then work a spike stitch into the stitch two rows below (skipping one row). Make 1 regular SC in the next stitch. Continue alternating between spike stitch SC and regular SC across the row. At the end just fasten off and cut the yarn. Turn.
Important Note: When working the spike stitch, always check the back side of your work. Make sure the hook pops through from underneath the peak formed by the connected legs in the previous row. Correct hook placement is key to keeping the honeycomb texture neat and well defined. (See the pics below)
ROW 6 - Start with 1SC over first two sts and then continue with SC through the legs of the “Vs”. Then keep alternating between regular SC and SC through legs across the row.
ROW 7 - desired length - Repeat Rows 3–6 until you reach the desired crown height (see the Hat Height Size Chart below). Make sure your last row is a row that connects the legs of the honeycomb stitch.) Also, there will be 2 last rows of decreasing to complete the hat. See the instructions)
SEAMING THE GLOVES
YouTube - 28:51 - Seaming the Gloves
Turn the gloves wrong side out and align the side edges.
Wrap one glove around your hand and use stitch markers to mark the space for the thumb opening. Place stitch markers on both sides so the openings are aligned.
Thread a yarn needle with the ribbing colour and seam the glove from the ribbing upward.
Important:
When you reach the first stitch marker, do not seam across the thumb opening. Instead, weave the yarn loosely through the stitches on one side only until you reach the second stitch marker. Then continue seaming as normal.
This method keeps the thumb opening intact without cutting the yarn.
Turn the gloves right side out and fold the ribbing.
You’re almost done!
To clean up the thumb opening and give it a more finished look, attach your yarn anywhere around the opening and work single crochet (sc) evenly all the way around. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Ta-da! Your gloves are done and ready to wear 🧤✨I hope you enjoyed crocheting this Honeycomb Fingerless Gloves pattern as much as I enjoyed designing it.
