Following on from my crochet block stitch ear warmer and plaid effect interlocking block stitch hat I am still continuing with the winter accessory theme, I really liked how my plaid effect hat turned out with the interlocking block stitch and wanted to make some fingerless gloves/wrist warmers using the same effect.
I didn’t want to match the colour schemes on the hat and gloves completely so I opted to keep two of the colours the same and change the spearmint wool to a light beige.
The grey: DK wool, no idea where I got this one from, I normally keep them with the labels but for some reason this one seems to have lost its one!.
The light beige: DK wool, HobbyCraft Everyday DK in beige.
The blue: DK wool, Stylecraft Special DK in Aster (1003).
