Before you begin, gather the following materials to ensure a smooth and enjoyable crochet experience:

  • Main Color (MC): Sage Green – approximately 100-120 yards
  • Contrast A: Dusty Rose – approximately 60-80 yards
  • Contrast B: Cream – approximately 60-80 yards
• Crochet Hook: US Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Stitch markers (to mark the beginning of rounds)
• Yarn needle (for weaving in ends and finishing)
• Scissors

Gauge: 16 stitches and 18 rows = 4 inches in single crochet. Adjust hook size if necessary to achieve gauge.

Size: This pattern is written for a medium adult size (approximately 7-8 inch hand circumference). To adjust the size, you can change your hook size (larger hook for bigger hands, smaller hook for smaller hands) or adjust the yarn weight accordingly.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Important Notes Before You Begin

• This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated. This means you will not join at the end of each round unless specified.
• Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round. Move the marker up as you complete each round.
• The pattern is written for a medium adult size (approx. 7-8 inch hand circumference). Adjust by changing hook size or yarn weight.
• You will be making two gloves – the pattern is identical for both.

Glove (Make 2)

Part 1: The Cuff

We'll start with the ribbed-style cuff in your Main Color (Sage Green).

1. With MC, chain 30 (ch 30).
2. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first chain to form a ring. Important: Be very careful not to twist your chain before joining!
3. Round 1: Chain 1 (ch 1), work 1 single crochet (sc) in each chain around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (You should have 30 sc)
4. Rounds 2-6: Ch 1, work 1 sc in each sc around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (30 sc)

After completing Round 6, you'll have a neat, stretchy cuff that will sit comfortably on your wrist.

Part 2: Creating the Thumb Hole

Now we'll create the opening for your thumb.

7. Round 7: Ch 1, sc in the first 5 sc, then chain 2 (ch 2) and skip 2 sc (this creates the thumb hole), then sc in the remaining 23 sc. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (You will have 28 sc + a ch-2 space)
8. Round 8: Ch 1, sc in each sc around, and work 2 sc in the ch-2 space (the thumb hole opening). Join with a sl st to the first sc. (30 sc)

Your thumb hole is now created and will be finished later. The body of the glove is now ready for the beautiful floral pattern.

Part 3: The Textured Floral Pattern

This is where the magic happens! We'll be building the floral layers, each round creating larger and more intricate petals. Follow along carefully – the pattern builds on itself.

Round 9 (MC): Ch 1, sc in the first sc. *Skip 2 sc, in the next sc work (dc, ch 1, dc) – this forms a V-stitch. Skip 2 sc, sc in the next sc. Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. (You will have 5 V-stitches)

Round 10 (MC): Ch 1, sc in the first sc. *Ch 1, in the ch-1 space of the next V-stitch work (dc, ch 2, dc) – this forms a shell. Ch 1, sc in the next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 11 (MC): Ch 1, sc in the first sc. *Ch 2, in the ch-2 space of the next shell work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) – this forms a larger shell. Ch 2, sc in the next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 12 (Contrast A – Dusty Rose): Ch 1, sc in the first sc. *Ch 3, in the ch-2 space of the next shell work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) – this forms a petal cluster. Ch 3, sc in the next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 13 (Contrast A): Ch 1, sc in the first sc. *Ch 4, in the ch-2 space of the next petal cluster work (4 dc, ch 2, 4 dc). Ch 4, sc in the next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 14 (Contrast B – Cream): Ch 1, sc in the first sc. *Ch 5, in the ch-2 space of the next petal cluster work (5 dc, ch 2, 5 dc). Ch 5, sc in the next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 15 (Contrast B): Ch 1, sc in the first sc. *Ch 6, in the ch-2 space of the next petal cluster work (6 dc, ch 2, 6 dc). Ch 6, sc in the next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 16 (MC): Ch 1, sc in the first sc. *Ch 7, in the ch-2 space of the next petal cluster work (7 dc, ch 2, 7 dc). Ch 7, sc in the next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 17 (MC): Ch 1, sc in the first sc. *Ch 8, in the ch-2 space of the next petal cluster work (8 dc, ch 2, 8 dc). Ch 8, sc in the next sc. Repeat from * around. Join.

Round 18 (MC): Ch 1, sc in each sc and in each chain around, working 1 sc in each ch, and 2 sc in each ch-2 space. Join with a sl st. (You should have approximately 60 sc)

Congratulations! You've just created the stunning floral body of the glove. The petals have grown from small V-stitches into grand, layered clusters that resemble a blooming flower.

Part 4: The Top Edge

Now we'll add a clean, finished edge to the top of the glove.

19. Rounds 19-20: Ch 1, sc in each sc around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (60 sc)

After Round 20, fasten off and weave in the ends securely.

Part 5: The Thumb

Now let's finish the thumb hole to create a functional, comfortable thumb tube.

1. Reattach MC (Sage Green) to the thumb hole. You'll be working into the ch-2 space from Round 7 and the 2 skipped sc.
2. Round 1: Ch 1, sc in each of the 2 chains (from the ch-2 space), then sc in the 2 skipped sc from Round 7. Join with a sl st. (4 sc)
3. Rounds 2-4: Ch 1, sc in each sc around. Join with a sl st. (4 sc)

Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Part 6: Finishing Touches

1. Block lightly to shape the gloves. This helps the floral pattern open up and lay flat beautifully. Use a spray bottle to mist the gloves and gently shape them with your hands, then allow them to dry completely.
2. Weave in all ends securely with your yarn needle to ensure your hard work stays intact.

Repeat the entire pattern to create the second glove. Once both gloves are complete, you'll have a gorgeous pair of Aurora Bloom Fingerless Gloves that are as unique as they are beautiful!

These gloves make a wonderful gift for a loved one or a special treat for yourself. The textured floral pattern is sure to draw compliments wherever you go. Enjoy wearing your handcrafted garden of blooms!
