Simple Fingerless Gloves for the Whole Family

So I got an email from a nice woman who gave me such rave reviews for my Simple Fingerless Gloves Pattern.  (Thank you so much by the way for that.)  It turns out everyone is really in love with it and I'm very happy that everyone has found some great use for them.  Anyway, the email was asking me how she could make these gloves for everyone in her family and that got me thinking.  I realized that others could really use this info as well and so I set out to make them in more sizes and post them here for everyone to enjoy!


Now, let me start out by saying that these patterns haven't been tested beyond the people I have in my family (My daughter is the size of a 7/8 year old and my son is 2), so if you get an end result that doesn't match up to what has been written here or you find a mistake, then please let me know!  :)  You can either comment below or send me an email.  I love hearing from people reading this blog and using my patterns, so please feel free to write me or even send me pictures. I might even post those pictures on the blog (with your permission of course).

So, lets get this show on the road!  I didn't make PDF files of these three this time, but I'm sure you can download the file from the women's pattern and jot down some notes.  Let's start with the men's pattern.

Just like the women's pattern, I used a worsted weight acrylic yarn and an H hook.  the gauge ended up being about 16 hdc to equal 4 inches.
