These cheery floral fingerless mitts are sure to be a hit in any wardrobe for all seasons!

Sunflower Fingerless Gloves

Sunflowers are one of my favorite things to crochet, which you might know already from my Sunflower Square Blanket and Sunflower Placemats patterns! In fact, the square used in this pattern consists of the first few rounds of the sunflower square in my Farm Fresh Fall Blanket pattern! When trying to find new ways to crochet sunflowers, fashion seemed to be the natural next step. I even designed a fun Sunflower Slouchy Hat Pattern that’s the perfect compliment to these gloves! Why not fill your wardrobe with sunflowers?!

I have some favorite yarns to work with when it comes to sunflowers, and I used a few of them when designing these gloves! My classic combo is Red Heart Super Saver in Gold and Coffee, and I also became a big fan of Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Mustard and Pound of Love in Antique White for the contrast color during this process. You can find them all on Amazon:
