Materials Needed
The materials mentioned for this project are:
- Yarn: Al Sharing Baby Yarn in two colors (e.g. white and another preferred color)
- Hooks:
- 2.5 mm crochet hook for creating the squares.
- 2 mm crochet hook for joining the squares and working on the edges and thumb section.
- Scissors: For cutting the yarn at various stages.
- Other Tools: A comfortable workspace and patience!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Create Granny Squares
- Start each square with a slip knot, then chain 4.
- Join the chains to form a ring using a slip stitch.
- Round 1:
- Into the ring, crochet sets of 3 double crochets, separated by 2 chains to form corners.
- Finish the round with 4 groups of 3 double crochets and 4 chain spaces for corners.
- Round 2–5:
- Continue building the square. Add 3 double crochet sets into the spaces between groups and repeat 3 double crochets, 2 chains, and 3 double crochets at each corner.
- Work the edges and corners evenly to expand the square until it has 5 rounds.
- Fasten off the yarn and trim it neatly.
2: Prepare Squares
- Make four granny squares in total, keeping their sizes consistent.
3: Join the Squares
- Align two squares side by side.
- Use slip stitches and join stitches along one edge, ensuring they line up correctly.
- Leave space at specific sections (e.g., thumbhole area).
4: Work on Thumbhole and Edge
- After joining the squares, create chains to form an open thumbhole section (this allows space for your thumb to move freely).
- Crochet single rows along the edges of the gloves using a smaller hook (2 mm) to smooth the border and thumbhole, ensuring it stays sturdy.
- The creator uses back-loop-only single crochet stitches for seamless edges.
5: Repeat for Second Glove
- Follow all steps to create another glove for the second hand.
