Free Crochet Pattern: Repulsor Ray Mittens (Ironman Tribute)

I love doing things together with my son. Playing Ironman for example, and for that you need repulsor rays on your palms. Obviously. I faintly remembered seeing a homemade pair somewhere online, but when I could not find the pattern, I made one up. And here they are!
