Rainbow Mitts
Fingerless gloves are my favorite knitting accessory and project due to their incredible versatility in construction. This versatility allows for creating stunning patterns, especially when using variegated or self-striping yarns. In this pattern, I've designed fingerless gloves that are knitted in various directions and in one seamless piece, making it easy for knitters to enjoy the process — you only need to weave in two ends for each glove!
The downloadable pattern PDF for these fingerless gloves includes:
- Comprehensive row-by-row instructions for knitting these stylish fingerless gloves in one size (height 21 cm, circumference 17 cm at the wrist edge, and 16 cm at the fingers).
- Eight detailed photos showcasing the different stages of the knitting process, so you can easily follow along at each step.
- Guidelines on how to adapt the pattern for other sizes, ensuring a perfect fit for anyone who wears them.
- A schematic diagram illustrating how the mitts are constructed, providing clear visual guidance.
- Short photo tutorials demonstrating essential knitting techniques: provisional cast-on and how to undo it, three-needle bind-off, picking up and knitting stitches from the edges of your work, and picking up stitches from gaps, which is necessary after changes in direction.
- A brief guide on working with short rows using shadow wraps, for those looking to refine their skills.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, this fingerless glove pattern is perfect for enhancing your knitting repertoire.
