Materials & Hook Recommendations for Best Results
These crochet fingerless gloves can be made in any yarn you like. The pattern calls for a 4 mm hook and sport weight yarn, such as Scheepjes Stone Washed, but if you prefer, you can go for a medium or even bulky weight. When doing so, make sure to adjust the number of stitches and rows to achieve the desired gauge and size for your mitts.
Learn the Techniques Used in This Pattern
This pattern is best suited for intermediate crocheters seeking an engaging and visually appealing project. While working these gloves up, you will practice several special techniques, including the crab stitch, crossed single crochets, and treble crochets. It’s a great opportunity for you to expand your crafting repertoire with new skills.
How to Crochet Ammonite Wrist Warmers
You will work these crochet wrist warmers in spirals for the first 7 rounds and then in regular rows. Once you have the body done, you will make the ammonite closure. This piece is crocheted separately, starting with a long foundation chain and sewing it into a spiral at the end. For the last step, you need to attach the ammonite to your glove.
Customizing the Gloves to Your Size
The pattern is highly customizable, allowing you to adjust the size and length according to your preferences. The sample wrist warmers measure 6″ x 4″ (15 cm x 10 cm) when laid flat. To make it wider or narrower, you should add/reduce the number of chains. You can also modify their length by working fewer or more rounds.
