Claire in Detention

This stunning knitting pattern draws inspiration from Molly Ringwald's iconic character, Claire Standish, in the beloved classic film "The Breakfast Club." The unique diamond panel design represents the beautiful earring Claire gives to John Bender at the end of the movie, making it a perfect tribute for fans of the film. If you have a soft spot for John Hughes films, you'll be thrilled to know that I will be adding several more designs to my exclusive "Brat Pack" series, each one inspired by these timeless movies.

For those who appreciate stylish knitwear, you might also love my Andie at Prom mitts, inspired by another John Hughes classic, "Pretty in Pink." These elegant mitts capture the essence of the film's fashion and charm, perfect for fans of the era!

This pattern is designed for adult sizes S and L, with finished measurements of a circumference of 6.5”/16.5cm for size S and 7.5”/19cm for size L, and a length of 7”/18cm. The length of the mitts is adjustable, allowing you to customize your project by adding more or fewer rounds to the ribbing at either the cuff or the top of the mitt, depending on your style preference.

A special thanks to my dedicated testers who joined me for a delightful "dance in the library" experience while perfecting this pattern. I would also like to express my gratitude to my talented tech editor, Cyndi Tiedt, who meticulously checked my homework and helped ensure the accuracy of this pattern.

This knitting pattern is not just a project; it's a homage to the enduring legacy of John Hughes films and a beautiful addition to your collection. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern will inspire you to pick up your needles and create something special!
