Free Pattern Friday is here again!
Everyone loves small projects. Socks, washcloths, and of course, mittens and gloves. Tis the time of year, up here in the Northern Hemisphere, to start thinking along those lines. MIttens and gloves make great gifts, everyone can use them, and they’re quick to knit and portable. You can go super easy, and you can be a bit more challenging. You can do everything from stockinette stitch to elegant lace. Fairisle sound like fun? Go for it! Want to try your hand at other colorwork? Mittens and gloves are perfect. And very practical! Practice and learn new techniques. Sounds like it’s right up your alley? I’ve compiled a few free mittens and glove patterns for you to check out.

Jorid Linvik’s Big Book of Knitted Mittens:
45 Distinctive Scandinavian Designs is sure to inspire you to want to knit some fun mittens, whether embellished with classic motifs like birds, hearts, moose and classic colorwork designs or those with a more modern feel liks guitars and skulls, a giraffe, penguins or a turquoise lizard.
The book includes a lot of instructions on how to make your mittens come out right, including a discussion of how different gauges can give you different sizes of mittens (and which mittens can be worked to different sizes for kids and adults). The charts are a little different from others you might have seen in that they show how to divide the stitches on the needles and where to place the thumb.
