NWM|| I Made Exclusive Crochet Gloves
Hello everyone ✨
It's yet another Monday and a lovely day to share our needlework in the #needleworkmonday community with fellow needlework lovers. Today, I would be sharing something a little out of the ordinary.
For a while, I've thought hard on a full clothing design I would love to make for myself. Would it be a skirt and top? Or a gown? I just wanted to make a full crochet outfit that was decent enough to be worn in public. After a while of thinking, I finally came up with a three piece crochet idea.
As the name implies, the outfit would be divided into three sections; the gloves, the skirt and the blouse. The picture I have in my head of this three piece is that of elegance. Gloves have a way of making a lady look elegant and so I opted to make that first.
I would be sharing with you the process of making these gloves.
I used a 4.5mm hook to make the glove. First off, I measured the length of my arms since I wanted long gloves. From there, I went ahead to sketch a little design on a piece of paper.
With the sketch, I got to work. For the first four rows, I used half double crochet. I graduated to double crochets and then I made mesh stitches. To give the finishing touch a little more beauty and coordination, I decided to end with two rows of double crochets.
While stitching the sides of the gloves, I ensured that I created loops to fit my thumbs. Since these gloves can fit anyone, I decided to add an adjustable chain at the top. This is to aid comfort. In case a person with smaller arms decides to try the glove on, they could always adjust it to fit their arm.
The process of making these gloves was a fun process. This was because I tasked myself to finish with both hands in one day and I did! Yayy. After making the gloves, I tried them on to see if they could fit . For about an hour or two, I didn't want to take them off as they felt really comfortable.
Soon enough, I should be sharing with the community the crochet top that compliments these gloves:). I'm still contemplating on the form or shape the crochet top is going to take but I guess I will figure something out soon.
To the colour of the outfit. I actually had an entirely different colour in mind but as I got to the yarn store, they had only a few of that colour left. As a rookie crocheter, I've learnt one lesson and that is "do not buy small units of a yarn for a large project" why? Because the next time you return to purchase the same colour of yarn, chances of seeing the exact colour would be really slim. The next best colour was wine colour and so far, I'm loving the colour.
I would have really loved to have this photoshoot outside in the presence of nature but it has been raining cats and dogs since morning. Leaving me with no other option than my lovely flowery patterned chair.
You are probably wondering why I used three different stitches for one set of gloves. This is because I wanted my gloves to be really unique and outstanding. I took a quick surf through the net and I noticed that most of the gloves on the net had just one stitch. Being exclusive is one attribute that I like to uphold.
What part of the gloves do you like the most? The colour or the stitches? I would totally love to hear your views on these gloves and suggestions for the upcoming projects:)
Have a wonderful Monday
That kind of glove to be worn in Nigeria or you're shipping it out? Lol😅
Nice one Wongi
Its this Nigeria that I would wear it. You would be amazed😅
Lol😅
Ladies and fashion
Now, I'll have to wear this glove for the next gala night haha.
This is beautiful @wongi🧡🧡🧡
I will gladly give it to you for the gala😊
I love both the colour and the stitch, I'm already thinking of a bodycon gown that will go with these gloves 🙂
A bodycon dress would go perfectly. What colour do you think the dress would be.
Same as the gloves, or close range, what do you think?
That or maybe a black coloured one.:)
Say what?! Girl you are Rocking those gloves. This bring fingerless gloves to a whole new level. I’ve never seen crocheted gloves this long, I love them!! The color, stitches and the style. Wongi you are truly one that would do so well bringing exclusive crocheted clothing wear to the surface.
Even without a top and skirt to match these would be awesome to help bring flare to any outfit. Thanks for sharing ~ 😍
We await the continuation of your vision!
This is one dream that I'm working painstakingly to achieve and I hope I do soon enough ☺️
I would be dropping them soon enough. Maybe after my "jeans project"😉.
I'm feel really happy that you liked how the gloves turned out. Thank you so much for stopping by ❣️✨
Always ~ 😉
I’m really glad to be part of your crocheting journey!! ☺️
And I'm glad you are☺️❣️
🤗🤗🤗
Your gloves really stood out not minding the three different types of stitches, we use gloves alot in fashion designing, it kind of make you standout in some dinner night out.
This is beautiful and exceptional.
Well done dear
This is actually the concept I was going for and I hope I would be able to achieve it in the end.
Thank you so very much sis. I'm glad you liked the gloves ✨
I didn't just like it, I love it.

#dreemerforlife beemed down from #dreemport - to this #dreemer curated post :)
I'm glad you liked them.
Thank you for stopping by dear dreemer☺️
Incredible work, I'm always impressed when someone crochets a piece, in my head it's something so complicated and difficult, but you did it with enormous accuracy and stunning beauty!
I was impressed with your talent, congratulations! #dreemerforlife
I feel really honoured that you like this piece. ☺️
Thank you so much for stopping by dearest #dreemer✨
The honor is all mine! 👏
Very creative! I love this concept it's a good one and suitable for this cold season.
#dreemport #dreemerforlife
Thank you very much dearest
Okayyy...I'm loving this style. Looks pretty elegant, and it's brilliant.
Not sure what other color would have sufficed, but the wine pops just fine for me.
How much does a wool cost now? Or what is it called? The last I remember, it was 100 Naira.
I wish wools are still N100, I would probably have a full closet of crochet items. The wools I use cost N450 right now. I hope it doesn't increase.🤧
And I'm glad you like the style. Thank you ✨
Tell me you're in Nigeria without actually telling me. LOL
I love the pattern of the stitches and the colour of the gloves. It really looks good on you..
Learning this was something I really wanted to do..you have given me inspiration to go and learn crocheting.
I hope you are able to follow through with the learning process. It would be worth it in the end☺️.
Thank you for stopping by ✨
This is a nice idea from you and I love the gloves on you. Is that a pink or wine color? They look alike.
#dreemport
This is wine colour. I'm not really a fan of pink.
Oh cool. I see pink color meant for babies 🙃😃
Wine color is good for me.
Oh, my isn't this beautiful. 😍😍
This is pure elegance.
Kudos to you dear
#dreemport #dreemerforlife #freecompliments
Thank you so much luchyl 😌❣️
I know nothing about crocheting or knitting but I do know this is beautiful what you made. And I love it. Very creative too. I bet it would be really warm during the cold weather.
#Dreemerforlife
That's is right. It would come in handy on cold days.
Thanks for stopping by dear #dreemer.
I must admit the colour! Which of course matches your colourful clothes, but the stitches are pretty cool and the end product looks funky! Oh and your hair looks gorgeous too!
10/10 wee wongi!
10 is a perfect score🤸.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked the gloves and the hair too😌
A perfect score yes and proof I liked them!
😍Oh, it looks so cute! I can picture it with the complete outfit. I’d love to see the full look. For your question, I love the stitches more.
Yes! I learnt this the hard way some time last year when I was crocheting a dress and didn’t get enough yarn. When I ordered more to finish the piece, the colours that came were a shade darker. Luckily, I was able to work my way round it by alternating with what was left of the previous yarn and the new ones.
I’m looking forward to the complete outfit so I’ll be checking in.
Oh lovely. I'm glad you liked the stitches too. I was a bit indecisive about the stitches but if you like them, then that good news😌
I would be dropping the second piece of the outfit by Monday and I would love to see you around.
Thank you so much for stopping by☺️.
! luv
Monday then. 😊It was my pleasure.
