Tutorial Summary
The gloves are made up using simple single crochet stitches and the Even Moss Stitch which alternates between slip stitches and half double crochets. This project is worked in rows, creating a rectangular piece which is then seamed to form a glove shape.
These are perfect as a quick last-minute gift or to keep your hands warm during cooler seasons!
