Glacier Fingerless Gloves Knitting Pattern

The other day I shared a hat knitting pattern that included lace panels and talked about how such a project would be great to wear when it’s not super cold out but you’ve still got a hankering for some knit accessories.

These fingerless gloves give me the same feeling, but for your hands.

The Glacier Fingerless Gloves from Mirella Moments use light or DK weight yarn and are worked in the round form the ribbed cuff up. The back of the hand features an easy eyelet pattern that looks almost like cables thanks to the different decreases used, which lean in different directions.

It’s actually a really easy pattern and a good introduction to lace if you’ve never done it before.

The gloves include a thumb gusset and a little knitting that goes over the thumb, and are also ribbed at the top for a good fit. They come in one size to fit an adult with a 7 inch/18 cm hand circumference. Because of that bit of eyelets they’ll probably stretch a bit to fit different sized hands if needed.

You can grab the free pattern at Mirella Moments. There’s also a matching headband and cowl if you want to make a set for yourself or for a gift, or if you love the stitch pattern you can make all the pieces and gift them to different people. I won’t tell.

There are so many great fingerless glove knitting patterns out there (and they do make great gifts and charity knitting projects) and I have shared a lot of them over the years. Here’s a cute collection of fingerless mitt knitting patterns that might help you boost your skills, as well as a collection full of patterns you can make to use your worsted weight yarn left over from other projects.

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
