Hello today we are going to see how fingerless mittens are made in Tunisian crochet
I prefer
those of a lifetime made with two needles or tricot. We'll see that in another tutorial
and I'm going to make them without fingers because the Tunisian crochet is very little elastic
but they can be
done with fingers
Here is the hole for the thumb
we take stitches all around and we crochet in the round
for the thumb and then
we divide in four the stitches of the upper edge and we crochet in the round
for example these 1 2 3 4 and 1 2 3 4, and so for each finger
This is the greatest difficulty in making them. I'm going to do them without fingers,
but as I said, we'd simply
continue weaving by
dividing the points for the other four fingers
Well, we start with the wrist, which I make
a bit narrower than the rest
and then increase stitches
to follow the shape of the hand, Here I increased 2 - 2, that is, 4 stitches for
the thumb area and here I increased 1, that is, 2 in total, 1 here and another one here
They can be made straight but then the wrist would be very loose
Keep in mind that Tunisian crochet is not very elastic
and it will always be a little difficult to put them on
To know the size, you start
and you try them, I was trying them to see when I had to
start the thumb hole, etc
It is simply to weave in the round until here,
the hole for the thumb is done in back and forth passes,
and then work again in a round until reaching the edge of the other four fingers
I did not start it
like most Tunisian crochet works because I wanted it
to be a little more elastic. I'm going to tell you how I did it.
Let's leave some wool to finish later and we do 1
slip knot, 1 and 2 chains, this can also be done with
the Tunisian hook and now we insert the crochet into the
first chain, yarn over and we make a single crochet
for my measurement I have to do 26, and now
insert the hook in this loop of the single crochet, and we make
another single crochet
insert the hook in this loop of the single crochet
another single crochet
and we continue like this until we reach the ones we need
It's like making a double chain
In this loop
single crochet
We already have 26 and you can see that it is much more elastic than
a foundation row
of the Tunisian crochet
Now we join them
in the round
with a slip
stitch
Now we
change to the Tunisian hook
with cable and we take
26 stitches: 2 3
5 6
25 and the last one
26
Now we have to close
the first round: insert the crochet hook through the first stitch
and through the back stitch and pull up
a loop that we use to close the first stitch,
actually, the last stitch of the turn
and now we close until the end
the last one
And now another round
pull up a loop in each vertical bar
last vertical bar
and close the round
through the firs stitch and
this closing chain
I'm doing it wrong, I repeat for you to see
hook through the first stitch of the round and into its closing chain
here
and pull up
a loop to close the last stitch of the round
and from here normal closing
Ready
We have to do another two rounds before making the increases for the
thumb shape
When we finish them, we come back
We already have the four rounds that correspond to the wrist
I'm going to try it on. Now at the beginning it is more difficult to put
Well, now we are going to do 4 increases on this side
and 2 increases on this one to follow the shape of the hand
This is a stitch
marker in the middle of the round
This is the first stitch and we make the first increase, like a
Tunisian full stitch, inserting the crochet under the closing chain
and pulling up a loop
simple stitch and another full stitch
under the closing chain between the 2 vertical bars
We already made 2 increases on this side and now we continue with normal stitch
until the middle of the round that is where the marker is
We make an increase before the
vertical bar that is before the marker
that is, a Tunisian full stitch
Simple stitch in the next vertical bar
remove the marker,
and another increase after the stitch in the vertical bar,
that is, an increase on each side of the hand
Simple stitch until almost the end of the round where we have to make another two increases
Until these two vertical bars before the end
The we do
Tunisian full stitch before
the vertical bar, simple stitch into the vertical bar, full stitch before the
last bar and simple stitch into the last one
So we finish with the increases for the thumb,
2 at the beginning and these 2 at the end (4 increases)
Now close: insert here and here. As we have the increase it is a bit more difficult so
so let's make it as a full stitch, pass it through the first stitch
and close the
last stitch of the round. For the rest, normal closing
And we keep working until we have to start
the thumb hole, which are
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 rounds.
When we have done the eight rounds
we return to see how to make
the thumb hole
We have to go sliding the hook to go closing
I'm still doing the 8 rounds
that are needed to reach the thumb hole, but taking advantage of the
change in color of the yarn, which changes itself, since the ball is of several colors,
The change coincided very well so that you can see
where to insert the crochet to close the rounds. Through the firs stitch
of the round and then into this closing chain
which is yellow
and pull up a loop
to close the last stitch of the round
Repeat, simple stitch in the last vertical bar
and insert the hook through the first stitch and through the its closing chain,
this yellow, pull up a loop
and through the last stitch of the round to
close it. Continue with
normal closing. Come back when I finish the 8 rounds
we continue
Well, we already made the necessary rounds
which were 8, to get to the thumb
and now we are going to work on unclosed passes
to leave the hole for the thumb
For it we work normal, with back and forth passes
but without closing them in the roun
Let's do 1
Last vertical bar
And now, instead of closing the round joining it
with the first point of the round, we do the normal closing
We close the first and then all the others until there is
only one loop on the hook
We have just done a normal row
without joining it and now we have to do
1 2 3 4 5 6 more rows for the thumb
When we complete the 6 rows we will return
to work in the round again
We already finished the thumb hole
with back and forth passes but
without closing them
And now we are going to join again and keep
working round,
the same as at the beginning,
normal forward pass to the end of the round and
at the end of the round
close again joining with the
first stitch of the round, through it and
through its closing
chain. It is a bit tight
there
take out the loop, pull the yarn so there is not a gap
and close the last stitch of the round
Then, normal closure until the end, just like we did
at the beginning of the glove, well, of the mitten
And now we have to
go sliding the crochet so we can keep closing the stitches until we finish
And this is already joined to continue working in the round
1 2 3... 3 o 4 rounds, depending on the size of the hand
I'm going to do a couple more rounds and finish it
In the round
Well, I've already made the necessary turns to reach
the edge of the fingers. We could continue weaving to cover
them more but I prefer to have them free
And now, with the normal crochet, or with the Tunisian,
we close
and finish off with slip stitch
Vertical bar and close with the previous one
Join the last one with the first
and close
Chain
and that's it
You can put it on on both hands
Then, we cut this, finish off and also this end here
Ready
It is not too complicated
