Halloween Pumpkin Mitts Knitting Pattern

September 3, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

Halloween tends to be a cooler day in most parts of the United States and other Northern Hemisphere countries, so if you’re handing out candy or walking a kiddo around the neighborhood, you might want to add some seasonally appropriate fingerless gloves to your ensemble.

These Spooky Pumpkin Mitts from Cat in a Sweater feature jack o’lanterns, bats and skulls in colorwork. They look super cozy and are knit in fingering weight yarn from the bottom up using stranded knitting techniques.

You can grab the free pattern on Ravelry.

A Sweater to Knit for Warmer Days

As a person who is pretty much always cold, I wear sweaters throughout the year. Sometimes I will wear lighter weight sweaters, or even short-sleeved sweaters, but there is often a sweater nearby even when it’s hot outside.

The Elton Pullover by Joji Locatelli is a great sweater pattern to knit for warmer weather, even if you’re not a person who is cold all the time.

It combines a fingering weight yarn and a lace weight mohair, but not in the way you might expect. Instead of both strands of yarn being held together while you work, this project has you work them in stripes. That means you end up with more solid bands of fabric where the fingering weight yarn is used, and fuzzy, see-through stripes where you are knitting with the mohair.

The textural contrast is a lot of fun, and the airflow provided keeps you from getting too hot when you wear it.

The pattern is a pullover version of a previously published cardigan pattern, so check that out, too, if a cardigan is more your style.

The pullover version is available in 10 sizes with chest measurements ranging from 30 to 60 inches. It’s designed to be worn with about 16 inches of positive ease, so the actual sweater measurements range from 44 to 80 inches. Of course if your chest measurement is larger than 44 you can adjust the level of ease by working a different size.

The design features a crew neck and drop shoulders, and is worked in the round from the top down. It’s available in both English and Spanish. You can get the patterns on Ravelry for the pullover and the cardigan version.
