Cragside gloves
Introducing our charming fern-patterned gloves, an exquisite addition to your knitting collection inspired by the breathtaking National Trust gardens at Cragside in Northumberland. These gloves are part of a delightful set, which includes a matching hat that is exclusively available in the original KnitNow magazine publication. The stunning gardens feature a picturesque area known as the Temperate Ferneries, where lush ferns thrive among artistically arranged boulders, infusing nature into your knitting experience.
The gloves showcase a beautiful lace fern pattern and are designed to be lightweight, making them ideal for temperate climates. Knit in the round from the cuff to the fingers, they also incorporate a gusseted thumb that offers maximum comfort and mobility. The ribbed panels along the sides ensure a snug and secure fit, keeping your hands cozy without compromising on style.
The PDF version of the pattern is comprehensive, featuring both chart-based and written instructions for creating both half-fingered and full-fingered gloves. Please note that the magazine edition offers instructions solely for the half-fingered gloves and utilizes chart-based directions exclusively. This versatility in design makes our gloves perfect for any knitting enthusiast!
The half-fingered gloves sample was crafted using Eden Cottage Yarns, specifically their BFL Sock yarn, while the full-fingered version was created using the exquisite Shilasdair yarn. This pattern is particularly fantastic for sock yarn, allowing you to explore different textures and colors.
Experience the beauty of nature and craftsmanship with our fern-patterned gloves—perfect for keeping your hands warm and stylish during cooler months. Whether you’re an advanced knitter or just starting out, you’ll enjoy the process of creating these stunning accessories for yourself or as a thoughtful gift.
