Wristlet to Gloves Free Crochet Pattern

WOW! Check out the gloves I made my Grandmother for Christmas using Dearest Debi's wrislet Pattern and some of my own Crochet skills. Below I will explain the process of crocheting the Thumb and Finger covers! Enjoy :) Measurements for larger sized wristlet.

Shown is the pair of fantastic wristlets I worked up using
Dearest Debi's Wristlet Pattern. 

Shown is the wristlets turned into gloves. You can sew
the finger and thumb pieces in or make them
removable(suggested) with snap fasteners.

Advice:
Work in a continuous round.
Mark new rounds.
Save time, measure your gauge.
Read Before Proceed.
Size may vary by each individuals crochet tension!
Hide all knots and ends inside.
