Keeping Warm

This past Succos (Jewish holiday), we went to our Aunt Josey's house. And since we had to be outside in the cold fall air, my mother Connie and I made fingerless gloves! Well, my mom made them. I started mine but they came out wrong. lol! They kept us warm through the holiday and we got lots of compliments!

picture coming soon!

Trim: Turn glove inside-out. Join Fun Fur with sl st in end of row 13, sc evenly around wrist end. Fasten off.

Connie's note: I designed this pattern after an extensive search for a fingerless glove that was worked in rows, not rounds. I found one that came close in The Chicks With Sticks Guide to Crochet, but it was extremely loose around my wrist. So I altered the patten to include changes for wrist shaping.
