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.

Fall will be here before we know it, and that means there are holidays coming right behind where we might be entertaining at home. It’s always fun to have a hand knit touch in your home for other people to see, and if you’re going to be in the kitchen all day you might as well have some nice knit dish cloths to use.

I love this little plaid hand towel from Darling Jadore. Use a little bit of leftover cotton yarn from another project for the plaid portion. It looks like the horizontal stripes are worked as you knit and the vertical stripes are done with duplicate stitch, making this a quick and easy project even newer knitters can make.

Combine garter stitch and an easy eyelet pattern worked sideways to make the Annette Dish Towel from Cluck Cluck Boots, which is meant to be reminiscent of flour sack towels. It calls for DK weight yarn and you can work it in one color or two (or even three!).

Add a little more texture with this set of kitchen towels from Whileberry Creative. They’re mostly worked in garter stitch with borders in easy knit/purl patterns, and you can work them in sport or worsted weight yarn.

Two of Wands Shop has another cute allover knit and purl pattern they call the Seersucker Textured Tea Towel. It’s an easy repeating pattern worked in worsted weight yarn, and there’s a chart in the pattern you can use, but don’t have to, if you want to practice knitting from a chart.

The Classic Cloth dish towel from Handmade Home by Connie is another one that can use a little leftover yarn in a contrasting color, or you could color block it our use stripes throughout the pattern. This one uses worsted weight yarn and another easy repeating knit purl stitch pattern.

If you like to hang your towel on the oven handle or elsewhere but it’s always falling off, try the Stay Put kitchen towel from Fancy Step Knits. This project is worked in garter stitch and includes a hole partway through so you can pull the towel through itself over a rod or handle. Stripes are optional but a nice addition.
