This slouchy has a ribbed band to match these gloves - and a beautiful bean stitch pattern to give it a bit of interest - th-cam.com/video/iAemkRnbPcY/w-d-xo.html
Hey Wheelie! I’m so happy I found this pattern! You have no idea how hard it is to find a fingerless glove pattern with thumbs!! This pattern was pretty easy, and being a bit more experienced, I added a few adjustments to my liking! I hope you don’t mind! Instead of beginning with a chain and working into the back of the chain, I started with a foundation HDC which works up faster and gives us a bit more stretch! I also added an invisible decrease to the second row of the thumb since I like my thumbs a little more snug fitting. These gloves are super comfy though! Keep it up and God bless you in the talents He gave you!
Hi Micah - Thank you ☺️ I’m really pleased to hear about the changes you made - it’s a great idea to start with foundation half double crochet, you avoid any risk of having a tighter bit in your glove from the starting chain! Using an invisible decrease in the thumb is clever too, I use them in toy making but hadn’t really thought of taking that over to gloves, I tend to just use standard decreases (hm… I’m definitely going to borrow your idea for future patterns 😉) and I’m really pleased you were able to make changes to the pattern so the gloves fit well. I know what you mean about finding glove patterns with thumbs, when I was learning all I saw were patterns without thumbs, I felt like such a pro crocheter when I made my first pair with thumbs 😊 You may (or may not, given you’ve just made a pair of gloves!) like to keep an eye out over the next week or so as I just finished filming a different pattern for fingerless gloves with thumbs. It uses single crochet rather than HDC and a slightly different technique to create the thumb gap. It also has stripes! I do have a lot of glove patterns and I’m always intending to film them, but I got very distracted by making stockings at Christmas, and I recently discovered I love crocheting toys…so the gloves keep getting put on the ‘film it later’ pile. At least there is one new pattern that I can definitely say will be up very soon! Thank you for leaving me such a lovely message, it is so nice to hear that someone has had success making my glove pattern. You’ve brightened my day. I hope you have a good day too 😃 Wheelie 👩🏻🦼🧶
Dearest Wheelie, I just discovered your channel and was completely amazed. I was looking for a glove pattern in 8 ply yarn to crochet as donations for Kogo. I was shocked to hear a familiar accent and my eyes fell out of my head as I had exactly the same yarn in my hands, while looking for a suitable pattern. It is so rare to see tutorials with locally available affordable yarn, this is so so refreshing. I crocheted like a crazy person during our lockdowns and so happy to see your channel. You are a beautiful presenter, the quality of your content is excellent, and thank you for demonstrating some great techniques in this tutorial. I am looking forward to trying the puff stich slouchy once I have finished the matching glove - I went up to a 4.5mm hook for the main part and back down to a 4mm hook for the ribbing and I hope to share photos soon. With love and gratitude xx
Hi Debra, thank you so much for your lovely comment, you made me smile! I’m delighted you happened on my video just at the right moment and extra pleased that you’re using it to make gloves to donate to Kogo ❤️ It is such a great feeling, to know a pattern I worked so hard on and shared free, you’re now using to make gloves to donate 🥰 The info I get from TH-cam tells me that only a small percentage of the people who watch my videos live in Australia. While I love that I get to meet people from all over the world, I’m always extra pleased when I get a comment like yours, because I started making these videos for exactly the reasons you gave - it is *so hard* to find a pattern video that uses yarn you can actually buy in Australia… without paying $$$$. I remember how hard it was when I was learning to crochet, sifting through all of the videos, looking for just one pattern that didn’t use worsted weight yarn - let alone the dream of finding someone crocheting with a yarn I recognised😱 Thanks again for taking the time to leave me such a thoughtful comment. I look forward to seeing your finished gloves, I really hope the pattern works well for you. If you ever find yourself hunting TH-cam for something specific, feel free to drop me a message - I have quite a backlog of patterns that I’m intending to make videos for and I’m always happy to move a pattern to the front of the queue if I know there’s someone interested. Have a lovely week! 👩🏻🦼Wheelie
Thank you for sharing this! I am so happy I found your channel. You walk through the stitches and techniques so well, and I appreciate you putting the time and effort into these. I have re-found my love of crochet and am on a bit of a kick right now, and definitely will be following along for the foreseeable future. Love it!!
Thank you for such a lovely message, I’m really pleased you found my video helpful 😊. I got back into crochet and onto a serious crochet kick about… 🤔 … five years back and I don’t think I’ve gone a day without crocheting since 😆 I hope you’ll get as much fun out of rediscovering crochet as I have 😊 I hope I’ll see you around TH-cam 😃👩🏻🦼Wheelie
You’re very welcome ❤️😃 I hope they’ll turn out beautifully for you - and I hope the lucky people you give them too really appreciate your hard work! Handmade gloves are such a thoughtful gift 🥰 Wheelie
A lot of the time I'll just skip through tutorials because I know all the stitches and also have sensory issues regarding higher pitched voices, but your voice is SO RELAXING. I watched the whole thing. Thank you for the tutorial :D
I’m not sure how I missed your comment, I’m sorry! Particularly because this is one of the nicest comments I’ve ever received ❤️ I know some people just aren’t fond of Australian accents, so it’s really nice to know there’s a flip side and some folk are finding my voice calming 🥰 When I edit the voice overs for my videos, I sometimes drift off… there’s something about ‘yarn over’ said repeatedly that is very calming to me 😴😉 All the best 👩🏻🦼 Wheelie
Mostly checked out the video because I was looking for a way to make the thumb part (I am doing something a bit different with the rest) but I was really suprised how calming and nice it was. I could just listen to it as asmr ❤
Aw thanks ❤️ it’s become a bit of a running joke in my family that my pattern videos are actually a sleep/meditation aid. I’ve had a couple of similar comments to yours - and I keep falling asleep while trying to type the subtitles, ‘yarn over’ is such a soothing phrase 😆 I’m so pleased you found my video helpful *and* calming - I hope your gloves turn out beautifully 👩🏻🦼 Wheelie
Hi Amie, thank you - that’s so lovely to hear! I try to arrange my videos clearly and spend time getting the time links in the right spots so you can jump about in the pattern when you need to. It’s so nice of you to notice, you’ve really made my day 😃😃. Hope you’re pleased with your gloves 👩🏻🦼Wheelie
This glove pattern will be really helpful to me because I am paraplegic and I need a wheelchair when I'm outside but my wheels always scrape my thumbs and cause them to bleed scar. this glove pattern will prevent that, as well as not restricting my grip because they are fingerless. amazing job!!
Hi 😃 I completely know what you mean!! My thumbs used to get so sore from my wheels 😖 (and the only reason they ‘used to’ and not so much now is I use a motorised wheelchair more often now 😉). I really hope your new gloves will help you! I’ve been thinking of making myself a custom pair with a full glove thumb and fingerless mitts like this glove for the finger part (if that makes sense!), I’m hoping that will help even more than just these fingerless mitts. I always find my thumb is the sorest bit and it doesn’t get protected by this style of glove - though this style of glove definitely helps. Let me know how you go with yours! I really hope you’ll have less-sore thumbs very soon 👩🏻🦼Wheelie
@@wheeliemadeitcrochet Omg thank you so much! You're instructions are super clear so I know I'll be able to do it pretty easily! I hope you have a wonderful day and keep up with the crocheting, you're amazing and super inspiring💞💞
This is so cute! I live the pattern for these gloves. I have large hands and would love to make a set for my partner as well. I would be eternally grateful for a video for larger sizes!
Hi there 😊 thanks, I’m glad you like them! This is going to be a bit of a long reply, I hope you have a free hour to read a novel! 😂 The short answer is yes, I would love to make a video for larger sized gloves… the slightly longer and more honest answer is that it will take me several months to make the video, I have other videos already in the works to finish first. I doubt you want to wait that long to start your gloves, so in the meantime I think you should be able to use this video/pattern as a base and I’m happy to walk you through the changes you might need to make so the gloves fit well. It’s been a while since I made this video but I think that parts of this pattern should just scale up, definitely the first few steps will be fine. You can make the band fit your/their wrists exactly as shown. The ‘hand’ section of the glove should be ok too, but you may need to +1 increase stitch more (in the rounds where the pattern says to add increases) if your/their hand widens out more. When you come to creating the thumb gap, you will need to add a chain 1 (or 2 or 3, whatever your/their hands need) between the 2 double crochets on either side of the gap, to create a larger hole for the thumb. The thumb you should be able to create exactly as the video explains. I find that gloves often need a bit of experimentation when you’re making them to fit a specific person, I know I always end up doing a lot of writing down stitch counts and then unpicking and trying again because they’re too small or too big, so if that happens to you, try not to be discouraged, it’s not just you I promise! Are you on instagram by any chance? If you want to try making these gloves (if all that doesn’t sound waaaaay too hard) you could send me a message there and we can have a chat while you make them. I can take photos or make simple videos to explain what I’m talking about if you’re more a visual learner. You’d be doing me a favour at the same time - the men in my life are not willing to wear crocheted gloves, so I have only made a few pairs in larger sizes. It would be good to see if there are any tweaks that I haven’t thought of before I make a pattern video. Let me know what you think - I will completely understand if your response is ‘I’ll look for a video elsewhere’ 😂👩🏻🦼 Wheelie
@Wheelie Made It Crochet OMG! I'm so sorry for the late reply! I didnt realize that my comment didn't send until now. I am checking your comment notes again since im starting the first pair >.
Thank you, I’m so glad you like the video! With the band, it’s not just you: single crochet ribbing is slloooowwww 🫠… it is really comfortable though, so when you finally finish and get to wear them, all that hard work will be worth it ❤️ good luck with the rest of your gloves! 👩🏻🦼Wheelie
Are you putting a stitch in the same stitch where you do the chain 2? Also, I speak English so it seems you did not complete the double crochet when turning around the thumb the first time but did a decrease across 2/stitches?
14:15 Hi Debra, just checking that I’m looking at the right spot in the pattern - the beginning of round 7? The round starts with a chain 2 to get up to height, then a double crochet worked in the same stitch (the stitch you slip stitched to, to finish round 6). The thumb gap is created by skipping 6 stitches and double crocheting. I don’t use a decrease in this round, but in the video I have yarned over already when I’m counting the skipped stitches, which might make it look like there’s a half finished double crochet on my hook. I hope that helps - but if I’ve misunderstood which part of the pattern you’re asking about, please do ask again 😊 Wheelie
I keep finding myself "holding my tongue just right" to get the back bump. Of course it doesn't help. I keep telling myself I'm going to "get" this technique someday. I hope today is it because the color I've chosen will go well with what I'm wearing to a special event tomorrow.
You made me smile - I find myself with my tongue sticking out when I’m concentrating. Makes me look very intelligent 😆 I hope that it was the day you mastered the technique and you got some compliments at the event ❤️ it took me the longest time to get the hang of working into the bottom of the chain, I’m still slow with some yarns, but I got there 🤞 you will too. 👩🏻🦼Wheelie
This is such a great video! I was looking all over for a tutorial for fingerless gloves with thumbs, and this video is also so easy to follow! This will be my first actual finished crochet project due to your step by step explanation, so thank you so much! (Often crochet videos go way too fast or don't properly film the stitches, so please keep doing what you do ☺)
Oh wow, thank you so much! You’ve really made my day. I’m so happy you found my video easy to follow, that’s the best compliment, I really try to get the filming clear 😊😊 It’s so great that you’ve finished your gloves! I love the moment when the project is finished and you can put it on and admire it - that never gets old. I would love to see your gloves if you’re on instagram? My name on instagram is the same as my channel name. 👩🏻🦼Wheelie
Nice pattern, but this is far from being for beginners. I have done a few pairs from different videos and this is in the top of the most difficult ones I have tried. I got completely lost with the thumb round on the double crochet. Maybe it is just me. You explain really well , video and audio are good. Thanks :)
Hi Lucila - thank you for letting me know, and an extra thanks for doing it so kindly. You must be so frustrated right now, it’s awful having to frog a project 😔. I think you’re right. I spent so long on this pattern that I got caught up in perfecting it and didn’t focus on what is easy when you’re learning to crochet. There’s a big difference between ‘easy for someone who’s experienced’ and ‘beginner friendly’. I’m going to go look at my other videos now and make sure I haven’t done the same with any of the others. You’ll see I’ve taken the word ‘beginner’ out of the title of the video now, so hopefully other beginners aren’t going to end up wanting to throw their yarn at me. Again, I’m very grateful you let me know, and even more so that you did it kindly. I know at some point I’m going to get a nasty response on TH-cam but I’m not looking forward to that day. I like to believe that crocheters are just more kind than the general population 😇🧶 Wheelie I don’t know if you’d want to risk one of my patterns again, but my other glove pattern is genuinely a beginner pattern. It’s not as exciting, but the button on the wrist makes it look cute (I still wear my pairs) th-cam.com/video/R84tAp3fc6I/w-d-xo.html
Hi Fatimah - that sounds really cosy and fun, what kind of fluffy yarn are you thinking of? (Can you link me to the yarn you like? I know of 3 quite different yarns that I’d call fluffy and there are possibly more in other countries, so I wouldn’t want to lead you in the wrong direction). I don’t have a video up for fluffy gloves at the moment but if I know what you’re looking for I could probably make you one (if I can buy the right yarn here in Australia).👩🏻🦼Wheelie
thank you so much for replying! I was thinking of maybe a yarn such as Bernat baby yarn or paintbox chenille or James C.Brett huggable. maybe any chenille would work. I was thinking to make black ones to go with a faux fluffy black coat. thanks again so much for your time to answer my comment and make lovely ,clear videos and tutorials for us. 🥰 ❤Fatimah
@@fatimahbholat5493 Aw thanks 😊 I just love the chance to talk about crochet… I love my family dearly but they think yarn is very dull 😂 The fluffy gloves/faux fur coat sounds like such a cute combo, one of my favourite things about crocheting is being able to make something that matches an outfit 😊 I’ve looked at the yarns you’re thinking of and I have a few questions about what you’d like your gloves to look like (thumbs/no thumbs) and if you’re sure you want to use such thick yarn (I usually go for DK for gloves so I can use my hands, but it’s not very cold here, so you might be right to choose heavier yarn), how confident a crocheter you are, and if you can read patterns. But I’m hoping you might be on Instagram so we can chat there. It would be a lot quicker/easier for me. TH-cam isn’t very reliable with notifications for some reason, I often miss the replies to comments unless I come back and check, which makes it hard to have a conversation 🙄 But if you’re not on instagram that’s ok too - I just thought I’d check before writing out a massive long comment here 😊 Wheelie
hello, hope you are having a great day. No sorry, I'm not on Instagram. however, to answer your questions I am a pretty confident crocheter and I am able to read patterns very well. I do crochet with fluffy yarn already so I'm comfortable with that as well. also, I would like a glove with thumbs but if that's not possible that's totally fine- as long as I can have some pretty gloves to match ill be more than happy. Thank you so much for your time to answer my comment and make specific videos for me- u r truly an angel. Also sorry for the inconvenience of not having Instagram.
The short answer is ‘yes’ - but it’s basically personal taste 🙂 I’ve found that working in a spiral has some advantages but for me, with this pair of gloves, the disadvantages outweigh them. I don’t like the little gap you get at the start of round 2 and I don’t like that the glove doesn’t finish looking perfectly straight at the top. Also, the method I’ve used in this pattern for creating the thumb gap, I don’t think it’s a good match for working in a continuous round. There are ways to get around those things, but it would be a different glove pattern. You could definitely do some experimenting and work in a continuous round if that is a technique you want to use (I know I love it for beanies and for amigurumi - who doesn’t like to avoid a seam where they can?) but I think you’d need to make some other little changes along the way 😊👩🏻🦼Wheelie

The thumb gap is created by skipping 6 stitches and double crocheting. I don’t use a decrease in this round, but in the video I have yarned over already when I’m counting the skipped stitches, which might make it look like there’s a half finished double crochet on my hook. I hope that helps - but if I’ve misunderstood which part of the pattern you’re asking about, please do ask again 😊 Wheelie
I keep finding myself "holding my tongue just right" to get the back bump. Of course it doesn't help. I keep telling myself I'm going to "get" this technique someday. I hope today is it because the color I've chosen will go well with what I'm wearing to a special event tomorrow.
You made me smile - I find myself with my tongue sticking out when I’m concentrating. Makes me look very intelligent 😆 I hope that it was the day you mastered the technique and you got some compliments at the event ❤️ it took me the longest time to get the hang of working into the bottom of the chain, I’m still slow with some yarns, but I got there 🤞 you will too. 👩🏻🦼Wheelie
This is such a great video! I was looking all over for a tutorial for fingerless gloves with thumbs, and this video is also so easy to follow! This will be my first actual finished crochet project due to your step by step explanation, so thank you so much! (Often crochet videos go way too fast or don't properly film the stitches, so please keep doing what you do ☺)
Oh wow, thank you so much! You’ve really made my day. I’m so happy you found my video easy to follow, that’s the best compliment, I really try to get the filming clear 😊😊
It’s so great that you’ve finished your gloves! I love the moment when the project is finished and you can put it on and admire it - that never gets old. I would love to see your gloves if you’re on instagram? My name on instagram is the same as my channel name.

Hallo Alle gut sehr schön 👍🌲🌲🌲🌟🌟🌟
Tausend dank! 😃
Nice pattern, but this is far from being for beginners. I have done a few pairs from different videos and this is in the top of the most difficult ones I have tried. I got completely lost with the thumb round on the double crochet. Maybe it is just me. You explain really well , video and audio are good. Thanks :)
Hi Lucila - thank you for letting me know, and an extra thanks for doing it so kindly. You must be so frustrated right now, it’s awful having to frog a project 😔.
I think you’re right. I spent so long on this pattern that I got caught up in perfecting it and didn’t focus on what is easy when you’re learning to crochet. There’s a big difference between ‘easy for someone who’s experienced’ and ‘beginner friendly’. I’m going to go look at my other videos now and make sure I haven’t done the same with any of the others.
You’ll see I’ve taken the word ‘beginner’ out of the title of the video now, so hopefully other beginners aren’t going to end up wanting to throw their yarn at me. Again, I’m very grateful you let me know, and even more so that you did it kindly. I know at some point I’m going to get a nasty response on TH-cam but I’m not looking forward to that day. I like to believe that crocheters are just more kind than the general population 😇🧶 Wheelie
I don’t know if you’d want to risk one of my patterns again, but my other glove pattern is genuinely a beginner pattern. It’s not as exciting, but the button on the wrist makes it look cute (I still wear my pairs) th-cam.com/video/R84tAp3fc6I/w-d-xo.html
If it isn’t too much of an ask, do you have a favourite beginner glove video? :)
do you have a pattern with fluffy yarn? i want to make some fluffy gloves? thank u
Hi Fatimah - that sounds really cosy and fun, what kind of fluffy yarn are you thinking of? (Can you link me to the yarn you like? I know of 3 quite different yarns that I’d call fluffy and there are possibly more in other countries, so I wouldn’t want to lead you in the wrong direction). I don’t have a video up for fluffy gloves at the moment but if I know what you’re looking for I could probably make you one (if I can buy the right yarn here in Australia).👩🏻🦼Wheelie
thank you so much for replying! I was thinking of maybe a yarn such as Bernat baby yarn or paintbox chenille or James C.Brett huggable. maybe any chenille would work. I was thinking to make black ones to go with a faux fluffy black coat. thanks again so much for your time to answer my comment and make lovely ,clear videos and tutorials for us. 🥰 ❤Fatimah

@@fatimahbholat5493 Aw thanks 😊 I just love the chance to talk about crochet… I love my family dearly but they think yarn is very dull 😂
The fluffy gloves/faux fur coat sounds like such a cute combo, one of my favourite things about crocheting is being able to make something that matches an outfit 😊
I’ve looked at the yarns you’re thinking of and I have a few questions about what you’d like your gloves to look like (thumbs/no thumbs) and if you’re sure you want to use such thick yarn (I usually go for DK for gloves so I can use my hands, but it’s not very cold here, so you might be right to choose heavier yarn), how confident a crocheter you are, and if you can read patterns. But I’m hoping you might be on Instagram so we can chat there. It would be a lot quicker/easier for me. TH-cam isn’t very reliable with notifications for some reason, I often miss the replies to comments unless I come back and check, which makes it hard to have a conversation 🙄
But if you’re not on instagram that’s ok too - I just thought I’d check before writing out a massive long comment here 😊 Wheelie
hello, hope you are having a great day. No sorry, I'm not on Instagram. however, to answer your questions I am a pretty confident crocheter and I am able to read patterns very well. I do crochet with fluffy yarn already so I'm comfortable with that as well. also, I would like a glove with thumbs but if that's not possible that's totally fine- as long as I can have some pretty gloves to match ill be more than happy. Thank you so much for your time to answer my comment and make specific videos for me- u r truly an angel. Also sorry for the inconvenience of not having Instagram.
👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍
Thank you!!
Hey there! Just found you! Great video! Ty!
Btw...new sub...should make #200, lol.
Thank you! Woo-hoo 200 💃😃😆 So glad you liked the video. Have a great weekend - Wheelie

I’ve used the same yarn to make myself a slouchy 🧶❤️ th-cam.com/video/3H20YHof0tA/w-d-xo.html
Is there a particular reason that you're not crocheting in spirals? 🙃
The short answer is ‘yes’ - but it’s basically personal taste 🙂 I’ve found that working in a spiral has some advantages but for me, with this pair of gloves, the disadvantages outweigh them. I don’t like the little gap you get at the start of round 2 and I don’t like that the glove doesn’t finish looking perfectly straight at the top. Also, the method I’ve used in this pattern for creating the thumb gap, I don’t think it’s a good match for working in a continuous round. There are ways to get around those things, but it would be a different glove pattern. You could definitely do some experimenting and work in a continuous round if that is a technique you want to use (I know I love it for beanies and for amigurumi - who doesn’t like to avoid a seam where they can?) but I think you’d need to make some other little changes along the way 😊👩🏻🦼Wheelie
