Stitching Instructions for Making the Granny Square Gloves Pattern:

Make 2 Granny Squares:

• Round 1 (R1):

  • Ch4, join with a sl st to the first ch to form a ring.
  • Ch3 (counts as the first dc), 2dc into the ring, ch2. (Corner 1 created)
  • (3dc, ch2) 3 more times into the ring, creating the remaining 3 corners.
  • Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch3.
  • Sl st into the first ch2 corner space.
  • Fasten off and turn your work over.
  • You now have a small square with four clusters of 3dc and 4 ch2 spaces (one at each corner).
• Round 2 (R2):

  • Join the yarn in any ch2 corner space, ch3 (counts as the first dc).
  • (2dc, ch2, 3dc) in the same ch2 corner space. (Corner made)
  • In the next 3 ch2 spaces, work (3dc, ch2, 3dc).
  • Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch3.
  • Sl st into the next ch2 space.
  • Fasten off and turn.
  • You now have a larger square with 8 clusters of 3dc separated by ch2 corners.
• Round 3 (R3):

  • Join the yarn in any ch2 corner space, ch3.
  • (2dc, ch2, 3dc) in the same ch2 corner space. (Corner made)
  • 3dc in the next space between corner clusters. (This is the first side cluster.)
  • Repeat the pattern: (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in each corner, and 3dc in each side space between corners.
  • Join with a sl st to the top of the starting ch3.
  • Sl st into the next ch2 space.
  • Fasten off and turn.
  • At this point, your square should have 4 corners and 4 side clusters.

Rounds 4-8 (or until the square measures approximately 6.75 inches):

• Repeat the same pattern, increasing the number of 3dc clusters on the sides as the square grows:

  • Work (3dc, ch2, 3dc) in each ch2 corner space.
  • Work 3dc in each space along the sides between corners.
• The number of side clusters will increase with each round:

  • Round 4: 2 clusters per side.
  • Round 5: 3 clusters per side.
  • Round 6: 4 clusters per side, and so on.
• After the last round, do not fasten off immediately; check the size by folding the square.

Adjust the Square Size (Optional):

• If the square feels slightly too small, you can crochet one additional round.
• To fine-tune the size, consider adding a single round of sc or hdc around the edges, working 2 stitches per side cluster and 3 stitches into each corner ch2 space.

Seaming the Gloves:

• Fold the Granny Square:

  • Fold each completed square in half with the wrong side facing out.
  • Ensure the corners align neatly along the edges.
• Seam the Edges:

  • Using the long yarn tail or a new piece of yarn, seam the edges together using a whip stitch or slip stitch:

    • Seam the top edge for about 2 inches from the fold downward (this will close the glove’s top).
    • Leave a 2-inch gap for the thumb opening.
    • Seam the remaining bottom edge upward for about 2.25 inches.
• Finishing Touches:

  • Weave in all loose ends using the tapestry needle.
  • Turn the glove right side out.
• Repeat: Follow the same steps to create and seam the second glove.
