Knitting Patterns Quick Fingerless Gloves

by

I know it’s about time I need to stop talking about things you can knit for Christmas, since we’re about down to the wire here. But there really are some projects you can still finish if you have some time to set aside for knitting in the next few days and if you’re only planning to knit for one or two people.

Looking for fingerless glove patterns? Check these out on Etsy.

One great choice you still have time to knit is simple fingerless gloves. I have a pair over at About that has consistently been one of the most popular patterns on the site for years because they’re quick, easy, cozy, fun and cute. You can easily knit one, if not a pair, in a day.

A few more cute options include the Lumpy Fingerless Mitts by Ravelry user cdaniele, Femme Fingerless Mitts by Ines and Kristen Blackmore and the Easy Fingerless Mitts from La Souris Verte, all of which are free Ravelry downloads.

Also check out the Constellation Gloves from Lion Brand Yarn, the Nice and Easy Fingerless Mittens from Buttons and Pickles, Purl Diva’s Fast and Fearless Fingerless Mitts, the Knit Ombre Handwarmers from Just Crafty Enough or the Fingerless Mitten Duo from Craft Leftovers. Most of these use bulky yarn so they’ll knit up in a flash and be warm and cozy gifts when they’re done.

Still working on holiday knitting? I’d love to hear about it.

Fun Tank Top Knitting Patterns

It seems like every summer there’s a new crop of tank top knitting patterns, and what I noticed about a lot of the new releases this year is that they have fun little details that make them a little more interesting both to knit and to wear. 

Like the Sailoress Top from Joji Locatelli, which has a pretty cable worked up the center from and back, with shorter sections of cable work on the shoulders. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes up to a bust circumference of 72 inches/ 158 cm. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Combine lace and cables in an allover pattern on the Mountain Laurel Top from Andrea Gaughan. This sport weight pattern is worked from the bottom up in the count and has 10 sizes. It’s available on Ravelry.

The Vienna Textured Tank Top by Sarah Hatton has wide ribs broken up by eyelets. There’s very little shaping so it’s a pretty easy knit worked in fingering weight yarn. There are nine sizes available and it’s a free download on Ravelry.

Make a tank with a boho vibe perfect for festival season with Mary Beth Temple’s Tropical Sunset Tank Top. Worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, it’s knit from the bottom up in pieces to make it more stable. The coloring changing yarn is perfect for this one, or you can make it solid or work in your own stripes. You can get the XS size free on her blog, and other sizes are available on Ravelry.

Looking for a cropped lacy V-neck top to knit for summer? Jessie Maed Designs has the Sundae Swirl Tank, worked in DK weight yarn in the round with a fun combination of lace and cables. The ribbing under the arms helps give it a great fit. There are six sizes up to a chest measurement of 62 inches/157.5 cm. You can find this one on Ravelry.

How about a tank top with buttons? The Ridge Tank Button Down from Bluebird Pine Shop could double as a vest in cooler weather. This one is made with light fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Grab a copy on Ravelry.

An otherwise simple top can be made a little more interesting with the addition of a fun edging, like on Sarah Opie’s Seashell Tank. Worked in fingering weight yarn, it has a whopping 24 sizes and lots of customization options for making it fit the way you want. The edging is crocheted. Learn more on Ravelry.
