Easy Crochet Patterns for Fingerless Gloves

Easy Crochet Patterns for Fingerless Gloves

Here in South Africa we are in spring but the days still have a slight chill in the air and in other parts of the world they are heading for winter. I do not know how cold it is there at the moment but I thought maybe this crochet pattern will come in handy. Both here and world wide. This is a very easy pattern and it can be made 

I found this on Getting Hooked Like me she is interested in many crafty things and has blogs on the things she loves doing and one of them of-course is crochet. Here is her pattern, it the bottom she has photo instructions on how to put the gloves together and how to make space for the thumb. Hope you enjoy making this for yourself or family.
