🐬 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!

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
