The inspo

The pattern
Make your own easy crochet gloves with this detailed pattern! The printable PDF pattern offers clear instructions and helpful tutorial photos – there will be no guesswork from your side! The pattern comes graded for 5 different sizes (Toddler, Child, Adult Small, Adult Medium, Adult Large), so these gloves will be the perfect gift idea or make for the market season.
Sizes & yardages
Sizes are written as follows: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) and correspond to toddler (child, adult S, M, L). The glove sizing is based on the hand circumference taken around the palm of your hand, just beneath the knuckles (don’t include the thumb in the measurement):

3 – 7”
4 – 7.75”
