Have no memory of how I worked this pattern in 2013, but figuring it out again wink

I have been pondering what to knit for my sister Nancy after she informed me she would like a pair of fingerless gloves to wear while driving (she forgot I gifted her Catching Butterfly butterfly Gloves in 2011). This pattern came to me this morning realizing I have knit two pairs.
