Fingerless Gloves with a Circular Twist

I would swear that I have shared this pattern with you before, but I can’t find any proof of that, so if I have, I apologize and if I haven’t I didn’t want you to miss out on this cool pattern.

The Zoom Out Fingerless Gloves from Knitting and So on use a cool technique that causes them to build out in a circular manner across the wrist and hand. Starting from the outer edge, they’re worked in a circle in one piece and end at the thumb. You never have to cut your yarn, and even though it starts flat it ends up being worked in the round, so it’s also seamless. How cool is that?

There’s rather a lot of technique involved, and the pattern is meant to be adjusted to fit, so there aren’t any stitch count numbers given, so you’ll have to rely on your wits to make this awesome pattern for yourself. (Trust me, you have plenty of wits.)

Does this look like something you’d like to try? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
