Tools and Materials You’ll Need
- Yarn: Any worsted weight yarn (#4). In this tutorial, the creator uses Burnett Pop (Blue Blaze) and previously Red Heart Ombre.
- Hooks: A 5 mm crochet hook for the cuff and a 6 mm crochet hook for the body.
- Other Tools: Scissors and a yarn needle.
Key Stitch and Technique
The star stitch is the main design element, with its elegant yet versatile texture. Beginners will also practice foundational stitches like single crochet and half-double crochet.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Create the Cuff
- Use the 5 mm hook. Start with a slip knot and chain 8 stitches (or more for a longer cuff on your arm).
- Skip the first chain and work single crochets (SC) into the rest of the chain. You should have 7 SC in the first row.
- Chain 1, turn, and follow this pattern for subsequent rows:
- Work SC through both loops in the first and last stitches.
- Work SC in the back loop only for all other stitches.
- Repeat this row until you have 24 rows (or adjust for your wrist size, ensuring the number of rows is even).
- Join the ends of the cuff with slip stitches and turn the cuff inside out.
2. Begin the Main Body
- Switch to the 6 mm hook. Chain 1 and work single crochets evenly around the edge of the cuff.
- For 24 cuff rows, make 24 single crochets around.
- Adjust the number of single crochets to match the number of cuff rows if needed.
3. Star Stitch Pattern
- Start with the star stitch round:
- Chain 3, and follow these steps to form the star stitch:
- Insert your hook into the 2nd and 3rd chains, pulling up a loop each time.
- Insert your hook into the single crochet below the chain row and pull up a loop.
- Pull up loops from the next 2 single crochets to have 6 loops on your hook.
- Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops, then chain 1 to close.
- For the next stars, repeat the same process (working into the "eye" of the previous star).
- Chain 3, and follow these steps to form the star stitch:
- At the end of the round, use the invisible joining technique described in the video to avoid gaps.
4. Half-Double Crochet Round
- Work 2 half-double crochets (HDC) into the "eye" of each star stitch from the previous round.
5. Single Crochet Round
- Work single crochets evenly around, with 1 SC in each half-double crochet from the previous round.
6. Repeat the Star Stitch Sequence
Repeat the following rounds to create the desired length of the glove:
- Round 1: Star Stitch
- Round 2: HDC
- Round 3: Single Crochet
This creates a textured, cozy look.
7. Create the Thumbhole
Left Glove
- Round 11:
- Chain 1 and work 6 single crochets.
- Chain 5, skip 5 stitches, and single crochet into the next stitch.
- Continue single crochets around and join the round.
- Round 12 (Star Stitch): Work star stitches over the chain and single crochets as usual.
Right Glove
- Round 11:
- Chain 1 and work 17 single crochets.
- Chain 5, skip 5 stitches, and single crochet into the last 2 stitches.
- Round 12 (Star Stitch): Work star stitches over the chain and single crochets as usual.
Finishing the Gloves
- After creating the thumbhole, finish with the usual sequence:
- 1 Half-Double Crochet Round
- 2 Single Crochet Rounds (or more if you want longer gloves).
- Use the invisible joining technique for a polished finish.

Congratulations! You've now created a pair of custom, cozy, and stylish fingerless gloves. This pattern is versatile, allowing you to adjust the wrist, hand, and thumbhole sizes to your liking. Pair these gloves with a matching star stitch beanie for the perfect winter accessory set.
