Celtic Weave Fingerless Gloves Free Pattern

Materials Needed & Measurements:

Foundation Chain Start with a chain of 11 (or adjust for your preferred cuff width).
Row 1 Sc in the second ch from the hook and each chain across. You should have 10 sts in this row.
Row 2 Ch 1, turn. Work 1 sc in BLO of each st across. The back loop creates a stretchy ribbing effect.
Repeat Row 2 Continue working BLO sc rows until you have 28 rows, or enough to fit snugly around your wrist.
Join the Cuff Fold the cuff in half so the short ends meet. Sl st through both edges to join and form a loop. You’ll now work the main glove body around this loop.

Set-Up Round Turn the cuff so the ribbing rows are horizontal. Work around the edge of the cuff:
- Ch 2 (does not count as a stitch).
- Work 40 dc evenly around the edge of the cuff. Adjust the stitch count for a looser or tighter fit.
- Join with a sl st to the first dc.
Round 1 (Celtic Weave Start) Ch 2. Skip the next dc.
- Fpdc around the next 2 dc.
- Go back and fpdc around the skipped dc. This crossing motion creates the weave pattern. Repeat this process around the entire round. Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch 2.
Round 2 (Alternate Posts) Ch 2.
- Bpdc around the next 2 fpdc from the previous round.
- Bpdc around the skipped dc. This alternation ensures the weave pattern remains consistent. Repeat this process around the entire round. Join with a sl st to the starting ch 2.
Repeat Rounds 1 and 2 Continue alternating these two rounds until the glove reaches your desired length, ensuring to leave space for the thumbhole later.

Creating the Thumbhole When the glove body reaches the base of your thumb, stop working in rounds.
- Instead, work back and forth in rows for 4-5 rows, maintaining the Celtic weave stitch pattern.
- This creates an opening for the thumb.
Rejoining Rounds Once the thumbhole is wide enough, rejoin to work in rounds again by sl st to the first st of the last row.
Continue the Body Resume the Celtic weave pattern for a few more rounds to cover the upper hand.

Top Edging For a polished look, work 1-2 rounds of sc evenly around the top edge of the glove.
Thumbhole Edging (Optional) Sc evenly around the thumbhole opening for a neater finish.
Weaving in Ends Use a tapestry needle to securely weave in all loose yarn ends.
Make the Second Glove Repeat all the above steps for the second glove.

Adjust Fit: You can make the gloves larger or smaller by adding or subtracting dc in the set-up round or by changing hook size.
Color Play: Use contrasting colors for the cuff and body to make the Celtic weave pattern stand out even more.
Decorative Edging: Add picots or scallops around the edges for a more decorative touch.
Comfort First: Ensure the thumbhole fits comfortably without being too tight or too loose by adjusting the number of rows you work in that section.

You are done!
