Kraken Knuckles

Warning: Wearing these unique kraken-themed gloves or mitts will ignite an irresistible urge to unabashedly wiggle your fingers! Perfect for knitters seeking a whimsical touch, the captivating design features an eye-catching kraken whose tentacles cleverly mimic your fingers.

The construction of the gloves features an easy-to-memorize four-row repeat in the background and on the palm-side, while the back showcases the stunning kraken graphic in all its glory. Opting for the fingerless version can provide an even more enchanting look. For the ideal effect, choose a kraken color that closely matches your skin tone, allowing the two to blend seamlessly and create the illusion of tentacles sprouting from your hands. I highly recommend using materials such as Jamieson Shetland Spindrift or Knit Picks Palette, both of which offer a wonderful selection of neutral tones.

This versatile knitting pattern includes four detailed charts to guide your project. The pattern provides separate left and right charts for two distinct styles: one for light-colored kraken and another for dark kraken. Additionally, you'll find comprehensive instructions to create either a full glove or a chic fingerless mitt version. The pattern accommodates two different sizes based on the same charts; the sizing is determined by your choice of needles and gauge, allowing for lots of room for personal customization!
