I’ll nag her for the both of us. I’d like to find a SIMPLE pattern for crocheted finger-less gloves.

That would help me greatly, because with the kennel dogs, I’m always giving a pill, or checking this or that on them, (ticks, weird lumps, minor injuries, doling out treats, or just a much-deserved hearty ear scratch) and it would be nice to have finger-less gloves to do that for the winter months.

They’re inside of a building, so it’s not bitterly cold. I think that would be a good solution. Or even those mittens that you can pull back the flap to finger-less gloves?

I might be getting in over my head, here. And we’re not even ‘official’ yet, LOL! :)

Okie dokie - I have a "go to", very basic fingerless mitten pattern & I think they would work well for you.

I have given a lot of them away .... my brother got a pair for his birthday & wears them hunting all the time - I think they've even been on 3 New Mexico elk hunts, plus all the local white tail hunting. He even requested I make his business/hunting partner a pair for a Christmas gift. My niece (archery instructor & bow hunter) loves her pair that she wears hunting so much that when she lost one of her mittens and asked if I'd make her a replacement. I made her a whole new pair. I made a pair for a hiking partner - she has about worn hers out. There's more, but I'll stop now ....

As for the actual pattern, I made a bunch of these mittens before I got my patterns/projects organized. I do not think I have a link, but I typed up the pattern in a document along with some notes. I also found the notes from the pair I made for my niece (2016) after she lost one. I'm still scrounging around, but at the worst, I'll copy the directions off of my doc & PM it to you.

Here is a pic of a camo pair made for my brother:

If you click on the pic, I think it makes it larger.

Here's another pair I made for myself - slightly fuzzy yarn - I love them & you can really see the detail (more on changes you can make when I send you the pattern)!

Oh my goodness .... after some scrounging around, I actually found the link for those basic fingerless mittens!!

Here it is:

Notes coming via PM as soon as I can write them up/copy from my document.
