I made these fingerless gloves for my son with my pokeball applique pattern because he wants to have fingerless gloves like the main character Ash on Pokemon, but keeps putting on regular gloves - in the 30 degree celsius weather we've been having!The pattern is simple and they're made all in one piece. You can find the Applique pattern here:
