Anthos Gloves
Introducing Anthos — a beautifully designed pair of fingerless gloves that draw inspiration from the Greek word for "flower." This unique pattern features a vibrant blooming bud and leaf motif on the back of each glove, created through an innovative technique utilizing short rows. The Anthos gloves are knit sideways in garter stitch on straight needles, making them accessible and enjoyable for knitters of all skill levels. This pattern not only allows you to create stunning accessories but also offers a fantastic opportunity to learn three exciting new knitting techniques, complete with step-by-step photo instructions. Best of all, you can skip the hassle of knitting in the round, managing fiddly double-pointed needles (DPNs), or even tackling purl stitches!
For this delightful project, we recommend using Scheepjes Terrazzo yarn, a DK weight option that consists of 70% recycled mulesing-free wool and 30% recycled viscose, ensuring both quality and environmental responsibility. Each ball contains 175 meters per 50 grams, and for the Anthos gloves, you will need to select two contrasting shades, requiring just 2 x 50g balls of yarn to complete your set.
Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner eager to expand your skills, the Anthos pattern is perfect for creating stylish, functional gloves that will keep your hands warm while allowing your fingers the freedom to move. Don’t miss out on the chance to add this vibrant, eco-friendly accessory to your knitting collection!
