I am going through a bit of a fingerless glove phase right now. I just knit two pairs for my daughter and I’m ready to make a bigger version for myself.
But while I’m at it I might also take some time to stitch these cute One-Skein Lace Fingerless Gloves, the free pattern for January 2015 from Sweater Babe.
These mitts use the easy Vine Lace pattern and, as the name says, just one skein of yarn (in fact it calls for about 97 yards, which may be a lot less than a skein, depending on the yarn you choose).
This pattern usually retails for $3, and to get the download you will have to visit the link, copy the coupon code and “buy” the pattern with the coupon code. You’ll also have to sign up as a customer if you aren’t one already, which is admittedly a bit of a pain the first time but as long as you can remember your password it will go a lot faster in the future. And the site offers a free pattern every month so it’s probably worth your while.
Do you have a favorite fingerless glove pattern? I’d love to hear about it.

I’m in a boot cuff groove, but I did just cast on a pair of fingerless mitts for myself with some of my handspun yesterday (in the 70 degree sunshine, what’s up with that?!). I’m more or less following the Fallberry fingerless mitts pattern from Knitty Winter 2011. Except in my own gauge, lol.
