Black Cat fingerless gloves

Discover the delightful PDF knitting pattern for a stylish pair of fingerless mitts/gloves featuring an adorable black cat motif on the front of each mitt. Perfect for cat lovers and knitters alike, these unique fingerless mitts are sure to keep your hands warm while showcasing your love for feline friends. The palms of the mitts are kept plain, allowing the captivating cat designs to shine.

In the photographs, the mitts are beautifully crafted using school grey Drops Alpaca 4ply weight yarn. Each cat is knitted with careful attention to detail in pure 4ply wool, presenting a charming upright position with tails held high. The cats boast sleek black bodies, striking green eyes, rose pink noses, and delicate pale silver grey whiskers, finished off with white patches under their chins. For ultimate versatility, these mitts can be knitted in any 4ply yarn, including wool, alpaca, cashmere, or cotton, allowing for a luxury feel against the skin.

The enchanting motifs are created using intarsia techniques, providing a vibrant and integrated design. However, if you prefer a simpler approach, the mitts can easily be knitted in plain stocking stitch, with the cats added later using duplicate stitch for an alternative finish.

The approximate measurements for these exquisite fingerless mitts are 8.5cm/3.25” wide (unstretched and excluding the thumb), 12.75cm/5” long from the top of the ribbed cuff to the cast-off edge, and a cozy 2.5cm/1” deep ribbed cuff. These dimensions make them a comfortable fit for most hand sizes.

This pattern includes detailed charts for both the left and right mitts, along with clearly written knitting instructions to guide you through each step. You'll be crafting these delightful mitts in no time!
