You can also crochet a cushion with the same pattern.

So whilst I crocheted him another one, I also took the opportunity to think about new ways to create a no fuss, no gather ribbed beanie. Fingerless gloves score high on the ‘practicality’ gift score so make great gifts for those who spend time outside in cooler weather but still need free use of their fingers (and yes – handy for persistent texters too!)In the meantime, I love a set of fingerless gloves because they are so practical.
