Are you in the market for the easiest pair of texting gloves you ever did crochet? If so, you are in the right place, friend!

Texting Gloves pattern

Great for wearing to a high school football game this fall, or out shopping, or just because you can, these gloves are quite possibly the easiest pattern I have ever created. The end result is so chic and so fun! Whip up a pair of these texting gloves in around an hour and you’ll be set all season. If you can crochet the single crochet, you can crochet these gloves!

Chic Sheep by Marly Bird Texting Gloves

When Red Heart asked if I would participate in a designer tour for a NEW line of yarn I jumped at the chance. I was provided yarn by Red Heart, using Marly Bird’s NEW Chic Sheep Yarn. This yarn is merino 100% wool and perfect for chilly days to keep your hands toasty warm while still allowing you to use your fingers. Available in 24 different colors, I am using the Dragon Fruit colorway and the Sterling colorway. I can’t decide which set I like more!

How to crochet texting gloves

As per usual, my children are my helpers when it comes to child pattern sizing. I just had to show you a photo of my youngest, fresh home from football practice, helping mom model! And then he asked for some gloves in black, so kid approved!

    This was my first attempt at crocheted fingerless gloves and I did end up with a pair that do not look like yours. Yours have a -v-v-v-v- look and mine were simply single crochet all around (vvvvvv). I ended up doing single crochet because the way your pattern is written, I kept ending up with double the stitches each time around. I cannot see how chain one, single crochet in next space (repeating all around) would do anything but increase the number of stitches. Did you intend us to read that we should chain one, skip the next space so that the chain stitch is floating and then anchor the yard again by doing a single crochet into the next space after? Does this stitch method have a name so I may look it up and see more information on how it is performed? Is there a video or photo showing exactly this part? Thanks for the inspiration!

    These are great. I like the simplicity of them and the notion I can add decorations if desired. What size is the child size or approximate age these would fit? Thank you for the pattern.

    Can anyone tell me how much stretch these have? I want to give as a gift, but I don’t have measurements. I know I would be safer just doing a rib stitch in a rectangle, but these look so pretty! Thanks! Val

      Hi Val! I'm glad you like them! These have a little stretch to them, though not near as much as the rib stitch would have.

      Hi Shelley! The 7mm hook does not have a letter...it falls between a K (6.5mm) and a L (8mm). I found mine at Hobby Lobby. Hope this helps!

      Hi. Instead of slip stiching in 1st stitch of the round to join, directly make a 1st st of next round in it.

    Great pattern as always. A couple of questions.....Adult/Medium Size: In row 27...what is "sts" and do you mean right side vs tight side? It's that way on small size too.

      Hi Debbie! Sts= stitches and when I say tight side, I mean to tighten your tension on those 1st 4 stitches of that row. Hope this helps!

    Love this site. Found it when looking for the egg apron pattern that someone wanted me to make. Then I found the hoodies and I have made 3 baby ones for a charity. Now they are looking for arm and leg warmers for the homeless. Of course I came back here for the pattern for the texting gloves, and felt confident enough to try my own for the leg warmers to match. Next will be the Easy Peasy Beanie. All of them are so fast and easy to make. The instructions and tutorials are awesome as well. Have made them all in hours. THANK YOU.
