Gloves and gardening

I had some leftover bits of yarn from the ripple blanket and wanted to make some fingerless gloves.
I tried a pattern where they were crocheted in the round but I couldn't get them to fit very well.
 Then I went back to the lovely Attic24 and looked at Lucy's idea of two simple rectangles and decided that was more my style.
And here they are..
 
New gloves based on idea by Lucy at Attic 24.
