Is the Celtic Weave Stitch Hard to Learn?
The key to the beautiful Celtic weave design lies in mastering post stitches. This makes it an exciting project for intermediates and crocheters looking to enhance their skills. The bold cabled pattern is worked mostly with back post treble crochets and front post treble crochets.
If you’ve never done Celtic Weave before, this video tutorial will help you get a good grasp of this technique.
Yarn and Hook Suggestions for Best Results
When crafted with aran-weight yarn and a 4 mm hook, these crochet gloves offer a medium-thick texture and warm feel.
The designer suggests using Loops & Threads Impeccable, which is a good quality 100% acrylic yarn. Its fibers are soft to the touch and easy to work with. You can choose from a wide range of colors to suit your personal style.
How These Gloves Are Constructed
This project begins by crocheting the waistband with alternating rows of single crochets and single crochets in the back loops only for a nice ribbed effect. Once the cuff is ready, you will continue working the top of the glove in back-and-forth rows using the Celtic weave technique. Then it’s sewn together along the back.
Laura crocheted these fingerless mittens flat, but if you prefer, you can join the rows as you go.
Adjustments and Sizing Tips
The pattern shows how to crochet women’s fingerless gloves in S/M. To size up, consider using a bigger hook or add stitches to the side half double crochet section. You can also decide how long you want the cuff to be by doing more chains at the beginning.
