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 !

Last year (as last free pattern of 2016!) I gifted you an oval pattern to crochet ( mini colourful pillow ) and right now, as my first free pattern of the new year, I'm offering you a new oval pattern .... ;O)  The funny thing about this work is not the repetition of the oval shape, but the colours choice, as this is not my usual colourful and bright palette, right? I think is a good thing try something different from time to time and having some neutral colours in my stash, I decided this was the right time to put them in good use!!! WHAT YOU NEED :  some chunky yarn ! I've been using the following ones: ZAMBAK by Kartopu shade K1001 (silver grey) ZAMBAK by Kartopu shade K1002  (darker grey) ZAMBAK by Kartopu shade K940  (black) (2 balls) APOLLO by Schachenmayr shade sisal meliert ID #00005  (beige) SPLASH variegated yarn 50 g (50% acrylic, 50% wool) shade 190 (green prevailing) from Italy LUMINO by Moda Vera shade 80280255  (neon yello...

For sure, I did use different yarns and colours (from top to bottom) : Pure Gold DK 005 midnight Filati Sandilane ATOMO 26 silver Robin Double Knit 0027 grey Pure Gold DK 036 ivory Kartopu AK-Soft K657 Pure Gold DK 059 azzure Kartopu AK-Soft K634 Moda Vera LUMINO 80280225 neon yellow and around the neck :  Pure Gold DK 206 blossom  and some silver grey from ATOMO (see list). ... and the hook was not a 3,3mm as suggested, but a 4mm, so my poncho is bigger than the original one .... !!!!! ...
