Pattern is written to be one-size-fits-most women’s fingerless gloves

Materials:

 Worsted Weight yarn of your choice (I recommend Red Heart With Love, Red Heart Soft, Caron Simply Soft, or I
Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby). I will note that Red Heart Soft and Caron Simply Soft, while labeled as
worsted weight yarn, tends to run thinner than regular worsted weight yarn, so if using one of these you may
want to go up a size while crocheting.
 Crochet Hook sizes G and I
 Yarn Needle

Abbreviations:

 Ch = chain
 Slst = slip stitch
 Sc = single crochet
 RND = round
 BLO = back loop only
