Crochet Pattern: Quick Fingerless Gloves

As the weather gets cooler here in eastern North Carolina, I find myself wishing that I had some way to keep my hands warm but still retain the use of my fingers to work in the garden and around the farm.

Behold, fingerless mitts.

I searched on Ravelry and around the internet for a simple fingerless mitt pattern in crochet, but I didn’t find one that really fit my needs, so I came up with my own. These are simple, quick mitts. They took me, maybe, an hour to crochet up.
