Free Crochet Pattern - Thick 'n Quick Fingerless Gloves

Image
With winter approaching quickly, what better pattern for my first post but this!

You can even reverse designs so that open squares are solid and vice versa for a different look. Written instructions for filet crochet exist but they are less common than the chart form, so this post will focus on how to read and interpret filet graphs and translate them to written form.
