It's getting cold out there, and no one wants frost bitten fingers. Which is why we've amassed a collection of mitten, wristlet and glove patterns for knitters to choose from this season.
Small and portable, mittens and gloves make great travel projects or holiday gifts that will serve a practical purpose (while looking great). If you've been looking for the perfect Christmas or Channukah gift in vain, consider a pair of mitts! How better for knitters to show their affection than a gift that will keep the recipient's hands warm all winter?
Shown above are two of Ruth Sorensen's new Beaded Wristlet patterns. The first was made with a single skein ShibuiKnits Sock in Dragonfly. The second was made with a skein of ShibuiKnits Sock in both Mulberry and Ink. These eye-catching accessories are great for dressing up simple work outfits or wearing out on the town.
Want to keep your fingers covered? No problem! Try Miriam Felton's double-layered Dimorphous Mittens for extra warmth. Solids not your thing? A pair of Ruth Sorensen's Colorful Mittens will add
some pizazz to your winter wardrobe. A pair of colorwork mittens can
be made with a single ball of Noro Kureyon Sock or Kauni Effektgarn. Or whip up a pair of Sassafras Mittens super-quick with self-striping yarn like Noro Silk Garden. |
Add some Medieval styling to your look with a pair of knit gauntlets. With Fleece Artist's Hans Gauntlets Kit, a knitter has everything they'll need except needles. Moreover, the pattern includes several sizes (from womens to mens), making it an ideal gift knit. ShibuiKnits' Faux Cable Gauntlet pattern gives knitters in a hurry a chance to cheat on their holiday knitting. Made with a single skein of ShibuiKnits Merino Worsted, it's a quick knit with no cable needle (or cabling experience) necessary!
Maybe a little something to slip on under coat cuffs and long sleeves in more your thing. Cable in comfort with Roxi Willoughby's Cozy Cabled Mitts and a couple balls of Shetland Heathers. Living somewhere that's cool, not cold? Try our lacy Ayanna Mitts and a single skein of silky Koigu Mori and never worry about sweaty palms again! Need a stash-buster? Our Twisted Wristlet pattern uses a single skein of Koigu KPPPM to make a pair.
Whatever your need, or whomever your recipient, we've got a pattern to suit. Browse our collection of Mitts, Mittens, Wristlet & Gloves patterns for more ideas.
