Amber Wrist Warmers Knitting Pattern

Sometimes it’s fun to knit a whole bunch of accessories that coordinate with each other. I have a shawl and a pair of gloves that were knit with the same yarn, and it delights me to wear them together because that’s not a matched set you’d ever be able to buy in a store.

The Amber Wrist Warmers from Mirella Moments are great to knit by themselves, but they are also part of a set of designs that use the same easy eyelet lace stitch pattern.

All of the projects use worsted weight yarn, and the fingerless gloves are available in two sizes. They include a little bit of ribbing at the top and bottom worked on a smaller size needle to keep them nice and snug on your hand and arm.

You can get this free pattern from Mirella Moments, and also check out the matching headband and cowl knitting patterns to make a full set. These would be really cute to knit for the same person, or you can make a different matching accessory for each member of the family.

And of course even though they use the same stitch pattern, you don’t have to make them all out of the same yarn if you don’t want to. Having a coordinating set, or even the same pieces in different colors to go with different outfits or coats, is another fun way to approach a set of matching patterns. Because they’re all free and easy to knit, you’ll probably come back to them again and again to stitch for yourself or for easy gift giving.

If you happen to be looking for an even easier pair of fingerless gloves, check out this super simple pattern of mine. They knit up in no time and can be embellished in all sorts of ways for gift giving or just to knit up a bunch for yourself.

Adding a bit of knitting to your fall decor is a lot of fun, whether it’s knit pumpkins or a bunch of adorable knit ghosts like these.

Knit ghosts can be super simple like this free ghost knitting pattern from Trixie Zynch on Ravelry. Using about 50 yards of worsted weight yarn, they’re worked from the bottom up and are super cute as a pair.

This fuzzy little ghost from Forest Knitting Toys is holding a pumpkin and wearing a witch hat, though of course the accessories are optional, as is the fuzzy yarn. The main yarn is chunky and the ghost measures about 10 cm/4 inches tall. It’s worked in the round.

Another fuzzy ghost in more of a Pacman style is this ghost plushie form South Stitch Girls. It’s worked in the round with bulky yarn and includes a sweet little bow you can make in whatever color you like.

The ghost doll from Edith Grace Designs has little arms and a curl at the top of its head. The body is worked flat using DK weight yarn and you could also work it in glow in the dark yarn for extra fun. The body and head are worked in one piece with the arms knit separately.

The Grim Grinning Ghosts from Susan Claudino are super cute and you can knit them in any yarn and gauge you like to make ghosts of different sizes. These are worked in the round with the body done in one piece and the arms are knit separately. The ghosts shown were knit in sock yarn, DK and worsted weight yarn. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.

Make a ghost with funny striped legs with this ghost shelf sitter design from Claire Fairall Designs. It’s worked in three colors of DK weight yarn, and the letters spelling out boo are made with strips of garter stitch sewn into shape.
