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.

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
