🧡 Glove Pattern (Make 2)
1. Wrist Cuff
With orange yarn and 5.0 mm hook:
Ch 28–30, join to form a ring (no twist).
Ch 1, sc in each st around, join.
Repeat for 5 rounds total for a thick, snug cuff as in the photo.
2. Honeycomb Mesh Section
The photo shows a rounded, offset honeycomb structure rather than angular diamonds.
Round 1: Ch 3, sk 2, sc in next st around. Join to first ch of beg ch-3.
👉 You should have approximately 9–10 mesh spaces around, matching the glove in the photo.
Round 2: Ch 3, sc in next ch-3 sp around. Join to first ch of beg ch-3.
Repeat Rounds 1–2 a total of 11 times (22 mesh rounds total) for full hand coverage.
💡 Mesh Stitch Tip:
“The ch-3 creates the rounded top of each honeycomb hole. Keep tension consistent for a uniform mesh pattern.”
3. Thumb Hole
Begin thumb opening on Round 9 or 10 of the mesh pattern (about 2–3 in before top edge).
When you reach the side of the glove: Ch 6, sk 6 sts, then continue mesh as normal.
On the next round, treat the ch-6 loop as one mesh space and continue pattern.
4. Top Edge
To finish: Ch 1, sc evenly around (1 sc in each dc or ch-sp).
Work 3 rounds of sc for the firm band seen at the fingertips. FO and weave in ends.
