Crochet Gloves

It's started to get chilly, so I thought I'd make myself a pair of gloves. Brief searching on the internet did not bring up any patterns that I liked, so I've decided to make my own. I quite liked the look of Hopeful Honey's Puff Stitch Fingerless Gloves (http://www.hopefulhoney.com/2012/04/perfect-solutions.html) so I thought I'd do something that looks kinda like that. The first hill I reached was that I only had DK wool, and I also had no buttons. I started making these gloves and felt the bobble pattern was too holey for a British winter, so I scrapped that design. Instead I decided to make a Crochet Mag pattern for fingerless gloves that I have made before.

I have a Christmas Santa Hat (of my own design) and as it is getting colder round here I chose to do my fingerless gloves in dark red and white.

I don't know why this is upside down, but roll with it

 

By the end I hope these will be warm and won't fall apart like the first pair I ever made did :P
