Pinterest / Fingerless Gloves

I seem to have trouble finishing projects. There are just too many items I want to make. Free pattern sites and patterns on wrappers are bad enough. Then, my daughters got me on Pinterest!
My older girl has been after me for 2 years to make a pair of fingerless gloves for her. That concept seems a little silly to me. If it's cold enough to need gloves, my fingers will get really cold if they're not covered too. So, let's call them wrist warmers. I've been finding so many cute pattern on Pinterest and pinning them to my "crocheting" board. I would say, "This is an easy one. You could make it!" Sadly, she never just sits and crochets the way I do.....
So, I took several different colors with me to her place so she'd have a choice. Then I made her a pair of wrist warmers in one evening.

Now, we know patterns are just suggestions.....
This pattern called for front post dc and back post dc for the ribbing. I don't like those stitches because they seem slower to make. So, instead of going around 30 stitches for the cuff, I chained 11 and worked sc across 10 stitches (ch 1 for turning) for 29 rows.

 After I've worked 1 row, I want rid of that messy looking tail.

I hold it over the row to be worked...

 And work the pattern stitches over it. These are sc.

Continue working over it until...

It is completely covered. 1 row down, 28 to go...

Now an edging row across the bottom.... Ch 1, work 1 sc in the side of each row across. At least that's what comes out even for me using size I hook and worsted weight yarn.

Close up of beginning of edging row.

At the end, fold it right sides together and work sl st across to join, ch 1 and work a row of sc edging along other side.

 The pattern I used for Jenn's gloves has 5 dc groups around. Well, I like pineapples. So, using my Afghan pattern again, I worked a pineapple across one side...

 And loops of ch 2, ch 3, ch 4, and chain 5 across the other side.

 The ch 2 loops start at the wrist. By the time I had increased to ch 5 spaces, I was to my thumb and the spaces were big enough for my thumb and fingers.

They go very well with my pineapple scarf.
