Warmed with Love Fingerless Gloves

I have something exciting to share with you :D I've been focusing on graph hats for a while using my fpdc technique... but how about we take it a step farther and start applying this graphing technique to other patterns like, say, fingerless gloves?

Check out the free pattern below!

How cute are those? And so much more than a heart can fit on them! If you'd like to see a few other graph options including a flower, polka dots, or an even larger heart check out the PDF on ravelry!! I sell the PDF for just $2.50 - it includes the graph shown in the written pattern as well as the 3 others! Definitely a steal ;) You can buy it HERE. Otherwise, enjoy the free version below! 

Hook: I

Material: Red Heart Super Saver

Gauge: 7 st & 6 rounds = 2”

Hints & Tips:

-          Using the “bobbin method” described HERE will help simplify the graph portion of the gloves.

-          Many small graphs can be incorporated into these gloves and larger graphs can be by using a smaller hook and making more stitches around!

-          These gloves are of an average adult wrist size.

-          Gauge is essential!

-          Please play close attention to round 22 as A is for one hand and B is for the other so that the thumb hole will be in the right place.

-          Ch – chain

-          Dc – double crochet
