Knit Sweet Lacy Mitts with This Free Pattern (Available Through 1/31/15)

by

get this free fingerless glove knitting pattern this month onlyI 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.

  1. 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.

Adorable Ghost Knitting Patterns

Adding a bit of knitting to your fall decor is a lot of fun, whether it’s knit pumpkins or a bunch of adorable knit ghosts like these.

Knit ghosts can be super simple like this free ghost knitting pattern from Trixie Zynch on Ravelry. Using about 50 yards of worsted weight yarn, they’re worked from the bottom up and are super cute as a pair. 

This fuzzy little ghost from Forest Knitting Toys is holding a pumpkin and wearing a witch hat, though of course the accessories are optional, as is the fuzzy yarn. The main yarn is chunky and the ghost measures about 10 cm/4 inches tall. It’s worked in the round. 

Another fuzzy ghost in more of a Pacman style is this ghost plushie form South Stitch Girls. It’s worked in the round with bulky yarn and includes a sweet little bow you can make in whatever color you like. 

The ghost doll from Edith Grace Designs has little arms and a curl at the top of its head. The body is worked flat using DK weight yarn and you could also work it in glow in the dark yarn for extra fun. The body and head are worked in one piece with the arms knit separately. 

The Grim Grinning Ghosts from Susan Claudino are super cute and you can knit them in any yarn and gauge you like to make ghosts of different sizes. These are worked in the round with the body done in one piece and the arms are knit separately. The ghosts shown were knit in sock yarn, DK and worsted weight yarn. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.

Make a ghost with funny striped legs with this ghost shelf sitter design from Claire Fairall Designs. It’s worked in three colors of DK weight yarn, and the letters spelling out boo are made with strips of garter stitch sewn into shape.
