This pattern was written for any crocheter who wants to add a little sass to their wardrobe. Admittingly though, these gloves aren't really going to keep your hands warm in the winter time - they are all for show! Color determines a lot about the finished look. Black is classic, and totally reminds me of Madonna in her prime. I Went with neon pink, and I'm feeling a punk rock-ish vibe. These definitely have a place in the costume and cosplay world as well. Use the corresponding hook size to match the size glove you want. Go up a hook size if you are worried about a tight fit, or know you are a tight crocheter. Gauge given is using a 5mm hook. 4.5mm hook - XS, 5mm hook - Small, 5.5mm hook - Med, 6mm hook - Large Happy hooking!
