🐬 Dolphins mens fingerless gloves












My inspiration for this pattern was my boyfriend at the time loved 🐬 dolphins and the Miami Dolphins team so I chose these colors for that very reason! I 💘 love the color combination ! This easy to create mens gloves can be done lickity split blink twice and its finished ! My choice of stitching is the moss stitch . Fun stitch is great for those just learning to crochet!


Materials needed
Red ❤ heart torquoise blue weight 4
Red ❤ heart pumpkin orange weight 4
Hook (metal)  size I-9.  5.5mm
Scissors 


Abbreviations 
Sc. Single crochet.        Rd. Round
Ch. Chain.                       Skst. Skip stitch
Slst. Slip stitch.             Flo. Front loop only
Moss stitch sc. Ch1. Skst repeat
St. Stitch



here is how I attached the color change in this pattern if you don't like the way it looks you can always leave a little tail and sew in each color

pattern notes
**Please use 5.5mm hook size I-9 aluminum
**I measured his arm at 7 3/4 in circumference I made the brim 9 in to give room
**When going along the brim be sure to end the round with 38sc I know the brim is done in 29 rows but in order to come out with the consistency of 9 in going up the arm this is what you will need to do
** ALSO I CROCHET TIGHT NOT DRAMATICALLY BUT TIGHT
** So with that being said when doing the 1st 2 rds around the brim there is a gradual increase in both rds.
**Be double sure you end up with 38sc in both rds
**rd 3 there is a change happening in this rd you will be doing sc ch1 and skst so your count will change it should be 20sc in the end of this rd
**now if the rd is ending in 20sc then proceed by doing the next 13 rds
** rd 16 there is an increase please pay very close attention in this round
**rd 17 also there is an increase
rd 20 this is the rd you create the thumb hole skip 4 chns
PLEASE FOLLOW THE PATTERN
