Push those boring, gray accessories to the back of your closet and put on something colorful! These vibrant Striped Wristlets by Lucy of Attic24 will add a splash of color to your every outfit. The pattern is very straightforward and quick, so you can successfully finish a pair within an hour. Don’t hesitate to give it a try!
Is This a Pattern Beginners Can Handle?
This fingerless gloves pattern is suitable for upper beginners familiar with crochet fundamentals who have already done some projects. It doesn’t include row-by-row instructions, so you should have general knowledge of crocheting techniques and how crochet patterns work.
The gloves use basic stitches only and are built from simple rectangles worked in rows. You can even skip the stripes and make your mitts solid if you don’t feel confident about changing colors.
What You’ll Need Before You Start
I need to tell you something cool about this pattern – these gloves are perfect stash-busting projects. All thanks to their striped design! If you have some scraps left from previous projects, you can use them to create the most colorful mitts in the world.
To achieve the same beautiful look visible in the photos, go for Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino yarn in the sport weight category. It’s a luxurious wool blend that will add warmth and softness to your handmade wristlets, making them not only fashionable but also incredibly comfortable to wear. Prepare also a 3.5 mm crochet hook.
Striped Wristlets – Step-by-Step Construction
These vividly colored crochet fingerless mittens are made from two simple rectangles worked with half double crochets and changing colors after every two rows. Once your pieces are done, you will fold them in half and sew them together along the side to form a tube. When stitching the rectangles up, make sure to leave the gap for the thumb.
For a polished look, the designer finished the thumb-hole with a row of single crochets and added a cute scalloped border to the top and bottom of the gloves.
