In this tutorial, I'll teach you how to crochet these super cute grey square gloves
0:07
Okay, let's get started. You're going to need both a 3.5mm hook and 3mm hook, and some double net weight yarn
0:17
I'm using drops charisma today, but you can use any double net weight yarn
0:21
I'm going to be using two colours to create a Scandy Christmas feel for this particular glove
0:27
but you can use as many colours as you would like. I'm going to be making the large size today
0:32
but you can find all the other sizes in the written pattern, which I will link below
0:36
Let's start by putting a slip knot on your hook. And chain four
0:44
One, two, three, four. Then going to join that to make a ring
0:53
And then chain three. We're now going to start working into the ring
0:58
So we're going to put a double crochet right into the centre there
1:05
And we're going to do 10 more double crochet into the ring
1:12
For a total of 12 double crochet, and I'm just going to slip stitch into the top of that chain three
1:21
Now I'm going to be changing colour. every round for this motif. When you need to make your motif in a solid colour, simply slip stitch
1:30
into the space between the two stitches here like so and then you will chain three and carry on
1:38
in just one colour. But I'm going to change colour here now so I'm going to fasten off. So we're ready to
1:43
start round two. Now I can put my hook in between two stitches so not into the stitch but in space
1:48
between two stitches and pull my next colour through. and then I'm going to chain three
1:58
This counts as our first double crochet. And I'm going to put another double crochet into that same space
2:09
Then I'm going to look for the next space between stitches and put a double crochet in there
2:17
Followed by another double crochet. And I'm going to continue around putting two double crochet
2:24
crochets into each space between stitches. I've worked all the way around and I'm just going to finish
2:30
with a slip stitch into the top of that chain three and fasten off. Now if you're doing your
2:36
single color round you will slip stitch into the next stitch then slip stitch into the space between
2:42
stitches and then chain three to start your next round. Start round three. I'm going to put my hook between
2:48
two clusters and pull through new colour and chain three. And chain three
2:54
and again this counts as double crochet. I'm going to put two more double crochet into that same space
3:10
In the next space we're going to put three double crochet. And then go ahead and then go ahead
3:24
and put three double crochet in each space all the way around. We're ready to start round four
3:29
So I'm going to put my hook in space between the thrusters. And pull in the new colour and chain four
3:39
One, two, three, four. This counts as our first treble. I'm going to put two more trebles into the same space
3:54
Then chain two. This makes our first corner and then three more trebles into that same space
4:08
In the next space, we're going to put three double crochet
4:24
And again in the next space three double crochet
4:36
And now we're ready to make it our next corner
4:49
So the corner is going to be three treble crochet, chain two, three treble crochet
4:55
So now you're going to continue around putting a granite cluster, that's three double crochet
5:00
into the same space, into the next two spaces. Then your corner, which will be three trebles, chain two, three trebles, two more granite clusters
5:09
another corner, two more granite clusters. And then we'll join to the top of this chain four with a slip stitch
5:15
Okay, so you should end up with something like this. We're going to join in our new colour
5:19
I'm going to join where I've fastened off for the previous round just so that you know what to do
5:24
when you're doing a solid granny square with just one colour. So I'm going to pull
5:29
and you yarn through and chain one. This doesn't count as a stitch
5:37
And then I'm going to do a half double crochet into the same stitch and into the next two stitches
5:54
We're now at the first corner. I'm going to put two half double crochets into this corner space
6:05
Chain one and then two more half double crochet. I'm now going to start working half double crochets into each stitch across the side
6:18
Make sure you get this first stitch. Sometimes it could be hidden a bit underneath these stitches
6:24
So I'm going to continue with a half double crochet into each stitch across
6:32
I'm going to get to the corner. I'm going to put two half double crochets into that corner space
6:38
Chain one and two more half double crochets. Now you can continue around the square with a half double crochet into each stitch
6:49
and two half double crochet, chain two half double crochet, double crochet into each corner space and then join with a slip stitch to the top of that first half double crochet
7:01
Now you're going to go ahead and make another square exactly the same and then two squares in just one single colour
7:09
So we're going to put our squares right sides together with your main colour, put a slip knot on your hook
7:18
And then we're going to look for this corner space. So there's the corner space here, put your
7:23
hook in and look for the same corner space on the other square and we're just going to put
7:28
single crochet in there. Just tighten that a little bit. We're now going to single crochet
7:36
in each stitch across. So look for your first half double crochet stitch, put your hook through
7:44
Look for the stitch on the other side. This one can be difficult to miss. It's actually here
7:49
and single crochet. Then we go into the next stitch and on the other side
7:58
and single crochet. And we're going to keep doing this all the way across
8:06
until we get to the corner. I've just got that corner space to work into
8:12
into both corners, single crochet and then you can fasten off. Okay, so we've finished crocheting across
8:19
this side we're now going to turn it around and start to crochet on the opposite side we're
8:26
going to start with the same thing start with the slip knot on your hook so find that corner
8:34
space hook goes in find the corner space on the other side and single crochet
8:42
first hubb of half double crochet and the same on the other side remember this one a bit tricky single crochet and again in the next stitch and the next stitch And the next stitch
9:08
So we've worked in a total of three stitches plus one stitch for that corner space
9:12
Now we're going to do something a bit different. So now we're going to only work into the bottom motif
9:17
So if you just move this slightly out of your way and look for the next stitch you
9:21
need to work in. So we've just worked into this stitch. here so this is the next stitch we're going to slip stitch in there and into the
9:34
next stitch try not to do your slip stitches too tight and we're going to
9:41
slip stitch all the way across until you have three stitches remaining so I've
9:48
slipped stitch across I've got one two three stitches left and we're now going
9:53
to start crocheting together again so count your stitches one it's probably easy to turn it over to count them one two three so this is the
10:03
first stitch we need to put a hook in and single crochet and single crochet
10:14
into the next two stitches both pieces together and that last stitch and then
10:24
finish off with another single crochet into that corner space. We've put our final stitch into that corner space
10:31
We're now going to turn and we're going to slip stitch back into those three stitches
10:38
That's one, two, and three. And now we're going to do the same thing we're going to work in the bottom only because remember
10:49
we've turned this over now. So this side we haven't worked into and we're going to slip stitch into those stitches
10:56
and we're going to go all the way across. This is of course the opening for your thumb
11:08
So then finish with a slip stitch into that single crochet. And fasten off and weave it in your end
11:17
You can go ahead and turn this the right way around. And as you can see we have a little hole there for the thumb
11:24
Put it on and try it on. This is how it should look
11:30
Now you want to go ahead and do the same with your other two squares, but just make sure that you leave your hole with the thumb
11:36
on the opposite side this time so that your motifs are both the same on the top and the bottom
11:43
So when you're looking at your glove, this edge will now be the top edge and this edge will be the bottom edge
11:50
So we're going to start working into the top next. Okay, from now on we're going to be using the three millimeter hook
11:55
which is a smaller hook. turn our piece over so the back is facing upwards so we're going to look for the top left
12:01
corner which is this corner here we're going to look for that last stitch which is this half
12:07
double crochet here we're going to hook through there and join our yarn chain one this doesn't
12:16
count as a stitch and we're going to put a half double crochet into that same stitch
12:26
Now the next bit is a bit tricky. We're going to half double crochet three together over the corner space
12:33
this little kind of stitch that you can see here where the squares were joined
12:38
and the other corner space. So you're going to yarn over, put your hook into that corner
12:44
pull up that loop, yarn over, but your hook underneath the loop of that stitch in the center join
12:52
pull up a loop, yarn over, put your hook into the next loop, put your hook into the next corner, pull up a loop
12:58
and then you're going to yarn over and pull through all of those loops. It's a little bit tricky, but there we go
13:04
So we're now going to start working across this side, and we're going to put a half double crochet in the next stitch
13:09
This first half double crochet, it always looks hidden, so it's a little bit difficult to get into there
13:14
but you can find the stitch. So a half double crochet in there
13:22
half double crochet in the next stitch, and we're going to keep putting half double crochets
13:26
all the way across into we get back to where we join the two squares here So we at where the squares are joined and again we going to do the same thing three half double crochet together
13:38
So yarn over, into that space, pull up a loop, yarn over
13:42
into that joining stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, into the corner space, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through all those loops
13:51
And then again, half double crochet into that first stitch. Remember this one is a bit tricky to bind
13:59
And then half double crochet into each stitch back to the beginning
14:04
I'm simply going to end the round by joining with a slip stitch to the top of that first half double crochet
14:09
Chain one, half double crochet in the same stitch. That chain one doesn't count as a half double crochet
14:18
And we're going to put a half double crochet in each stitch all the way around and finish with a slip stitch into the top of that first half double
14:25
crochet. So for round three we're just going to repeat round two. Okay for round four we're
14:32
going to start with chain one which doesn't count as a stitch and we're going to work now
14:39
from left to right and we're going to single crochet in each stitch this is also known as
14:44
crab stitch so it might feel a bit weird if you've never done this before but just put your
14:48
hook from where it is into that same stitch single crochet Then into the next stitch
15:00
Single crochet. I'll just do a few stitches so you can see how it's done
15:10
It's very easy. It just does feel a bit awkward at first but once you get the flow it goes really easily
15:16
So you're going to continue and do this all the way around
15:20
We're ready to join at the end. But we don't join from the front
15:24
We want to turn our work. and join onto the inside and just slip stitch into the back of that stitch there and fasten off
15:35
Okay, so we're ready to start the ribbing. We're going to rotate our work so the top of the glove is at the bottom and just like we did in round one of the top
15:46
we're going to do the same for the bottom. So our first round is going to be exactly the same as our first round when we were doing the top
15:55
beginning of round two. We're going to chain two. Now this chain two counts as a back post
16:02
double crochet. The first stitch we're going to do is a front post double crochet. If you've
16:08
not done one of these before, I will show you how to do it. So you yarn over. You'll put your
16:13
hook to the side of the stitch, go around and come up at the other side. And then you finish off
16:19
your double crochet around the post of the stitch. stitch and then that double crochet stitch sits at the front of this half double crochet
16:32
The next stitch we're going to do is a back post double crochet. So you're going to yarn over
16:38
Now this is where we have the joint so we're going to put our hook around the back at the side of the stitch and then go through the side of the stitch on the other side
16:50
and finish off that double crochet. And so that stitch will sit at the back of the stitch
17:02
So the next we're going to do a front post double crochet. And then a back post double crochet
17:20
and we're going to work all the way around alternating between the two
17:33
So we're ending with a front post double crochet in that last stitch there and we're going to join to the top of that chain two
17:45
So for rounds three to five you're going to repeat that last round
17:50
Clutch gloves should look like this. You can go ahead and finish up your second one exactly the same way
17:56
I'm also working on making matching accessories, so make sure you watch out for those videos
