About This Feather Moss Gloves Pattern

This pattern creates a pair of textured fingerless gloves made from four decorative granny-style squares joined together. The design features puff stitches and dc clusters for a floral-like center and a ribbed cuff for a snug wrist fit. Youll work the panels, join them, add ribbed finger cuffs, a thumb cuff, and seam the gloves together.

Worked in DK or worsted weight yarn with a 4mm hook, these gloves are customizable in size and color. The pattern includes clear step-by-step instructions for assembling and finishing your gloves.

Why You'll Love This Feather Moss Gloves Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines a pretty textured square with practical ribbed cuffs that make the gloves both decorative and useful. I enjoy how the puff stitches create a floral, raised center that stands out when you join the panels. The construction is satisfying — you make four identical squares, join them, and add small cuff pieces to transform them into wearable gloves. It is a great pattern for using up a skein of variegated yarn and personalizing with colors, and it always makes a lovely handmade gift.

Switch Things Up

I love recommending color swaps to change the whole look: try solid yarn for a refined finish or a bright variegated for a playful effect.

You can make the gloves larger or smaller by changing the yarn weight and adjusting the hook size; a bulkier yarn with a larger hook will produce a chunkier glove.

If you want full-fingered gloves, add a few rows to the finger openings and work individual finger tubes in single crochet to cover each finger.

Try substituting puff stitches with bobble or popcorn stitches for a different textured center.

Change the cuff style by working longer ribbing for a slouched look or shorter ribbing for a more fitted wrist.

I like to mix and match contrasting colors for the squares and cuffs to create a patchwork, boho vibe.

To make a child's size, reduce the number of stitches in the square rounds or use a lighter yarn and smaller hook.

Consider adding simple embroidered details or sewn-on buttons to the square centers for a bit of embellishment.

For a warmer glove, line the inside with a thin fleece or duplicate stitch a soft yarn lining across the palm area.

I also sometimes add a short piece of wire into the cuff seam to keep the wrist cuff in shape and prevent slumping.

Experiment with joining methods: slip-stitch join, whip stitch, or single crochet join each give a slightly different edge finish and flexibility.

Finally, block your squares lightly before joining to even out the edges and make your joins neater and easier to work.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the gauge check leads to gloves that are too large or too small; always make the gauge square and adjust hook size to match the measurements provided. ✗ Not tightening the magic circle tail can leave a visible hole in the square center; pull the tail tight and weave it in securely or tie a small knot if desired. ✗ Miscounting puff stitch repeats results in an uneven square; count clusters after each round and mark the start with a removable stitch marker until you get the hang of the pattern. ✗ Joining the squares without matching right sides causes the design to face the wrong way; place squares right sides facing each other when joining as instructed to avoid orientation mistakes.

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach thumb cuff by working 1 sc in ch3 space of both squares and join the back and front panels together through identical stitches.
  • Sew the finger ribbed cuffs by sl st to join the seam and fasten off, making sure the ribbing lines up evenly around each finger opening.
  • Seam the side of the glove by attaching yarn in the ch3 space under the finger cuff, then sc through both front and back panels for 12 sts, finishing with a sc in the ch3 space and fastening off.
  • Join the two main panel halves together by placing them right sides facing each other and working single crochets through corresponding ch3 spaces and edge sts to create the glove tube.
  • Weave in all loose ends securely and turn the glove right side out, checking alignment of thumb and wrist cuffs before final trimming.

Important Notes

  • 💡Make a gauge swatch to match 22 sts x 28 rows = 10cm x 10cm; adjust hook size if your gauge differs.
  • 💡Work puff stitches and dc4tog carefully and count stitches at the end of rounds to ensure correct stitch counts.
  • 💡Place squares right sides facing each other when joining to ensure the panels face outward when finished.
  • 💡Weave in ends and secure knots where you tightened the magic circle to prevent the center from coming loose.

These Feather Moss Fingerless Gloves bring cozy texture and floral-like puff stitch centers to your everyday layering. Perfect for using variegated DK or worsted yarns and making unique gifts with a handmade feel. Enjoy the process and the warm hands that follow — happy crocheting! 🧶✨
