Dragon Scale Fingerless Glove Pattern
Living in Florida, I struggle at times to come up with things to crochet. Well, lucky for me, my Florida bestie is going up to Chicago November 1st. Having lived in Wisconsin, I am equipped with cold weather gear. As a native South Floridian, she is not. This gave me the perfect opportunity to get hooking. I made her a cute little messy bun hat, since they are all the rage right now, then decided she needed a nice pair of fingerless gloves.
I have seen oh so many pictures of dragon scale fingerless gloves. So, I decided that was what I was going to make for my darling, dear. I started the search for the perfect pattern. With no luck.
Enter my ability to create! Over the last 5 hours, and approximately 6 episodes of Star Gate: SG-1, I have designed a pair that I love and think she will love as well.
