Are you in the market for the easiest pair of texting gloves you ever did crochet? If so, you are in the right place, friend!
Texting Gloves pattern
Great for wearing to a high school football game this fall, or out shopping, or just because you can, these gloves are quite possibly the easiest pattern I have ever created. The end result is so chic and so fun! Whip up a pair of these texting gloves in around an hour and you’ll be set all season. If you can crochet the single crochet, you can crochet these gloves!
When Red Heart asked if I would participate in a designer tour for a NEW line of yarn I jumped at the chance. I was provided yarn by Red Heart, using Marly Bird’s NEW Chic Sheep Yarn. This yarn is merino 100% wool and perfect for chilly days to keep your hands toasty warm while still allowing you to use your fingers. Available in 24 different colors, I am using the Dragon Fruit colorway and the Sterling colorway. I can’t decide which set I like more!
As per usual, my children are my helpers when it comes to child pattern sizing. I just had to show you a photo of my youngest, fresh home from football practice, helping mom model! And then he asked for some gloves in black, so kid approved!
