Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with different yarn colors and textures when making these Feather Moss Gloves. Try using a variegated or self-striping yarn to create beautiful color transitions throughout the granny squares without any extra effort. Solid jewel tones create an elegant sophisticated look while pastels give a softer vintage feel.

For a more textured approach, consider using a chenille or velvet yarn which creates incredibly cozy gloves perfect for cold winter days. You could also work the squares in one color and the ribbed cuffs in a contrasting shade for a modern color-block effect.

I've found that adding small embellishments like tiny buttons or beads to the center of each square adds a personalized touch. You can also experiment with the puff stitch count in Round 2 to create larger or smaller motifs.

For a completely different aesthetic, try working the entire pattern in a single neutral color with metallic thread held together with the yarn for subtle sparkle. This creates elegant evening gloves perfect for special occasions.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Forgetting to maintain consistent tension during puff stitches which can cause uneven square shapes and sizing issues throughout the gloves ✗ Not properly joining the squares with right sides facing down which results in visible seams on the outside of the finished gloves ✗ Skipping the magic circle tail securing step in Round 1 leading to loose centers that unravel during wear and washing ✗ Miscounting stitches during the dc4tog cluster rounds causing the square corners to become misshapen and affect overall glove structure

Assembly Instructions

  • Join two squares by placing them right sides down and working single crochet through both layers along one edge
  • Create the ribbed finger cuff by working back loop only single crochet rows perpendicular to the joined edge
  • Turn work upside down and attach wrist cuff in the same manner along the opposite edge using slightly wider ribbing
  • Work the thumb cuff along the side opening, joining the two squares together for the first portion then working on front panel only
  • Seam the final edge of the glove by working through both panels simultaneously to close the hand portion
  • Weave in all loose ends securely using a yarn needle, ensuring ribbed sections maintain their stretch
  • Turn gloves right side out and gently block if desired to even out stitches and enhance drape

Important Notes

  • 💡Maintain consistent tension throughout especially during puff stitches and dc4tog clusters for uniform square sizing
  • 💡Pay careful attention to which sides are right and wrong when joining squares as this affects the final appearance
  • 💡The ribbed cuffs are worked perpendicular to the base creating stretch so avoid pulling too tightly
  • 💡Mark your beginning of rounds with stitch markers to avoid losing your place during construction
  • 💡The thumb opening is created by only joining the squares partially so count stitches carefully during this section
  • 💡Block your finished squares gently before assembly if they appear slightly uneven or puckered
  • 💡Weave in the magic ring tail immediately after Round 1 to prevent it from loosening during wear

These Feather Moss Fingerless Gloves combine vintage charm with modern functionality in a beautifully textured accessory.

FAQs

Can I adjust the size of these gloves for larger or smaller hands?

Yes! The pattern recommends going up or down a hook size by 0.5mm to adjust the fit. Using a 4.5mm hook will create larger gloves while a 3.5mm hook will make them smaller. You can also add or subtract stitches in the initial rounds to customize the width.

What yarn weight works best for this pattern?

The pattern is designed for DK or worsted weight yarn. The specified gauge is 22 stitches by 28 rows per 10cm square, so any yarn that achieves this gauge with a 4mm hook will work beautifully. This gives you flexibility to choose your favorite fiber content.

How do I make sure my granny squares are the same size?

Each square should measure approximately 12.5cm or 5 inches when measured diagonally. Use a measuring tape after completing each square and adjust your tension if needed. Blocking your squares before assembly can also help ensure uniform sizing.

Can I make these gloves without the ribbed cuffs?

While the ribbed cuffs provide stretch and comfort, you could substitute simple single crochet edging if preferred. However, the back loop only ribbing helps the gloves stay in place and provides the snug fit that makes fingerless gloves functional.

How much yarn will I need for both gloves?

The pattern requires approximately 170 meters or 186 yards total for one pair of adult women's gloves. This is typically one skein of DK or worsted weight yarn, though it's always wise to have a little extra on hand.
