Knitting Patterns Quick Fingerless Gloves

I know it’s about time I need to stop talking about things you can knit for Christmas, since we’re about down to the wire here. But there really are some projects you can still finish if you have some time to set aside for knitting in the next few days and if you’re only planning to knit for one or two people.

Looking for fingerless glove patterns? Check these out on Etsy.

One great choice you still have time to knit is simple fingerless gloves. I have a pair over at About that has consistently been one of the most popular patterns on the site for years because they’re quick, easy, cozy, fun and cute. You can easily knit one, if not a pair, in a day.

A few more cute options include the Lumpy Fingerless Mitts by Ravelry user cdaniele, Femme Fingerless Mitts by Ines and Kristen Blackmore and the Easy Fingerless Mitts from La Souris Verte, all of which are free Ravelry downloads.

Also check out the Constellation Gloves from Lion Brand Yarn, the Nice and Easy Fingerless Mittens from Buttons and Pickles, Purl Diva’s Fast and Fearless Fingerless Mitts, the Knit Ombre Handwarmers from Just Crafty Enough or the Fingerless Mitten Duo from Craft Leftovers. Most of these use bulky yarn so they’ll knit up in a flash and be warm and cozy gifts when they’re done.

Still working on holiday knitting? I’d love to hear about it.

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
