Fingerless Gloves*

I made these quick and easy fingerless gloves in less than 2 hours last night. I wanted to try something different and the idea for the long stitches came from reading an older crochet book on edgings. I am very happy with the look and even happier to wear my fingerless gloves. They have become my favorite article of clothing to wear throughout chilly season. I do not need to take them off to drive, shop or even crochet. hahaha! The pattern is very simple to understand even for beginners. Follow the you tube link for a video on how to add the longer detail stitches.

Chunky Yarn Fingerless Gloves
