One of the greatest benefits of fingerless mitts is their versatility. They can be worn on their own on warmer days or as a layering piece on colder days.

This is especially useful for people who use smartphones, tablets, or other touch screens frequently as it eliminates the need to take off gloves or mittens.

Another advantage of fingerless mitts is that they are great for people with arthritis or other conditions that make it difficult to use traditional gloves. Fingerless mitts allow for easy movement of the fingers while still providing warmth to the hands.

Fingerless mitts are also a great way to use up leftover yarn from other projects. This pattern is designed to be knit with worsted weight yarn and can be made in any color, so you can use up scraps of yarn you have lying around. Plus, with this pattern, you can make a pair of mitts with just one skein of yarn.

In addition, fingerless mitts are a great way to add a touch of personality and style to your winter wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down depending on the yarn and the design, and can be a great way to add a pop of color to your winter outfits.

This pattern is easy to follow and includes detailed instructions and helpful photos, so you can be sure your mitts will turn out perfectly. Whether you are new to knitting or an experienced knitter, you will love how quickly and easily you can make a pair of fingerless mitts with this pattern.

Book Review: Brooklyn Tweed’s Knit & Crochet Blankets

Blankets are a great blank slate project that you can change up in a million different ways. From color to stitch pattern to size, the possibilities are almost endless.

Jared Flood, the designer behind Brooklyn Tweed, was inspired by a log cabin quilt his mother made in 1995 to re-create that design in knitting, which led to more blankets and ultimate Brooklyn Tweed’s Knit and Crochet Blankets, which includes 25 patterns from an array of designers using different skills and techniques to make cozy, pretty blankets.

The patterns are divided into three aesthetic themes: traditions, minimalism and colorplay. The patterns are rated on a scale of one to five, with one being the easiest, and there aren’t any pieces rated five. Two blankets are rated one, 14 are two, eight are three and one is four. 

In addition, three of the 25 patterns are crocheted, but they either use single crochet or granny stitch, so they are pretty easy even if you don’t do a lot of crochet. You can see all the patterns on Ravelry.

Some of my favorites include Rattan by Rastus Hsu, a chunky blanket worked in knits and purls with simple crossing stitches to make a raised woven look; Homewood by Seth Richardson, covers in dramatic, loopy cables; Ainur Berkimbayeva’s Tessellate, one of the beginner projects that doesn’t really look beginner but is totally worked in knit and purl stitches; Warp + Weft by Aist? Butkevi?ien?, which is mostly knits and purls but makes a fun woven look fabric that blew my mind a little bit; and the same designer’s Canyonland, a multicolored blanket with wavy stripes.

The patterns tell you how to resize them for different dimensions and include information on pattern repeats where it is possible to make a totally custom size.

Many different techniques are included here such as cables, lace, shadow knitting, intarsia and other colorwork techniques, as well as modular knitting and lots of sewing pieces together. The patterns are all presented with charts, but there are line by line written instructions available on the Brooklyn Tweed website if you need them.

The book ends with a deep dive into log cabin knitting, telling the story of the quilt Jared’s mom made and how he made it in knitting, as well as the multitude of variations you can make if you want your own log cabin style design.

The back of the book includes a little written information about some of the special techniques needed, but there are no photos.

This is a lovely book full of inspiration for knitting and crochet blankets for any skill level. If you like to make blankets as gifts or aspire to have a handmade blanket in every room of the house, these designs would be a great place to start.

About the book: 192 pages, paperback, 25 patterns. Published 2024 by Abrams Books, suggested retail price $24.99.
