Fingerless Gloves with Fingers Knitting Pattern

The world of fingerless gloves contains multitudes, from simple rectangles knit flat with a hole left in the seaming for your thumb to designs with elaborate patterns, thumb gussets, little individual fingers, or all of the above.

The Patons Fingerless Knit Gloves pattern tends a little toward the more detailed of fingerless glove knitting patterns. It’s still worked in a solid color (though of course you don’t have to do that if you don’t want to) but the thumb is almost covered by the knit bit made for it, and there are individual holes for each of the other fingers.

It’s a full education in knitting gloves other than shaping the fingertips. (And if you’re ready to graduate to gloves, check out my collection of sock yarn glove knitting patterns.)

The pattern page says it uses worsted weight wool, but the pattern itself calls for sock yarn, which makes a lot more sense. You could choose a self-patterning or self-striping yarn if you like to make these a little jazzier, or go stash diving to make your own stripes or color blocking as you fancy.

Now would be the perfect time for me to point out that you could easily make each little finger hole a different color. There are no rules here.

The pattern has two sizes for adults large and small, and you could also make them longer if you want to warm your whole upper arm while you keep your hands and fingers snug (though you might need another ball of yarn for that). Talk about cozy.

You can grab the free pattern from the Yarnspirations website.

Christmas Tree Fingerless Gloves Knitting Pattern

There’s a lot to like about the Eloise Bandana from Katryn Seeburger. This cute little colorwork triangle can be worked as a bandana or kerchief size or a bigger shawlette.

It’s worked in two colors of fingering weight yarn so you can use whatever yarn you have in your stash and just make it as big as you can (since it is worked from the bottom up).

You can see the two sizes from the photo, and also two colorwork options: strawberries and lily of the valley.

But that’s not all the choices you have. In fact, there are 34 different charts you can choose from to knit onto your project. Some of the options include happy faces, a lobster, a pumpkin, a snail and a butterfly. There are cherries, peaches, tomatoes and radishes.

There’s even a blank square you can use to draw your own little design if you want to use something else. Or keep it blank and make it a plain checkerboard design.

And while both of these shawls use the same icons throughout, you could also use different designs throughout if you want. Say a fall version with a bat, pumpkin, leaf and acorn, or a summer beach theme with sailboat, fish, lobster and a bird? I keep suggesting four different icons because the larger size has four rows of squares, but the smaller has three, so you could do stripes of the same icon or alternate a couple of different ones, whatever you like.

Look through the finished projects on the Ravelry project page to see lots of different options, from rows to individual icons. There are also some projects that are smaller than the suggested size to make a smaller bandana. You could also keep going a make a bigger shawl working increases in the same way as you have been going.

Check out all the details and grab a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.
