I know spring is approaching, so I was thinking of a pair of light fingerless gloves with a small old far west lure ... What do you think, are you in, too ? The construction is very simple : you need to crochet 2 basic granny squares and then embellish them with some colourful fringes !!! I crocheted them in just one afternoon !!!! WHAT YOU NEED I've been working with : a 4 mm hook a 50 g acrylic yarn ball from  Filatura Cervinia CAPRICE  shade denim blue (gloves) small amount of  Sirdar COUNTRY STYLE wool blend DK  shade 397 periwinkle ( for top/bottom/thumb borders) small amount of  TIGER garn/yarn (plied) ,  Sirdar Wash'n'Wear Double Crepe DK  shade Original Denim,  CHARITY Double Knit Pullskein  shade 011 silver grey and  Filati Cervinia CAPRICE  shade orange (fringes) a pair of scissors a yarn needle Please remember that I follow the US crochet termilogy, thank you !

I'll be here in my place very soon : no more "excuses" for delay after delay!!! xxxx, Alessandra

Each wrist warmer is made of 3 ovals, that are joined together using the "join as you go method" in the same way I did  here ,  here  and  here , with a slight variation : for this project I chose to insert the hook under both loops of the same stitch (not only the back loop). I think that the following pattern is not...
