Here’s a fine collection of free patterns for fingerless gloves (and handwarmers) that I’ve gathered from around the ‘net and culled from my bookmarks. Lots of different styles and there are some really talented designers in this group!
Fetching Beauty: Finished cuff circumference: 7 inches (unstretched) and length: 6.25 inches.
Lucky Warm Fuzzies: These are made from a scrumptiously soft synthetic yarn and embellished with vintage buttons.
Carrie: The cuffs are done in k1p1 ribbing and the body in moss stitch.
Furry Cuffs: Features fun “furry” cuffs made with Berroco Plush.
Spirogyra Wristwarmers: Made in a Slanting Shell Stitch design.
Spiral: Luxurious fingering weight yarn is used to make these.
Evenstar: For smaller or larger sizes go up or down 1 or 2 needle sizes. Length to wrist is approx 12 cm.
Long Striped: Sized to fit average woman – 7 inches in circumference and 12 1/2 inches long.
Mikado: This is for a long pair, you’ll find a shorter version available too.
Ribbed: Worked on DPNs and divided on three needles, pdf download available.
Lacey Office: Stretches to fit all hands up to an 8″ wrist circumference.
Cabled: A basic stockinette stitch background and k2, p2 ribbing puts all the focus on the cable down the back of the hand.
Eeryne: Made with DPNs (4 needles) and fingering to sport weight yarn.
Emerald Green: Worked in Stockinette, Moss and Double Moss stitches.
Endpaper: These would be an excellent first project for a novice – they’re small and snappy and dead-simple.
Quick & Simple: Quick garter stitch using straight needles and worked flat with simple seaming at the end.
Casablanca: Cabled up the center, you’ll get two pairs from one skein of wool!
Thanks for collecting these here. Great reference, I’m bookmarking. Ha, knitting is NOT a lost art. Look how little time it took for Ravelry to get a million members, 14 months? And Kathy, the Emerald Green are a 2-needle pattern.
These should be more gratifying than socks of the past Christmases. Good to use those leftover skeins.
Very nice for charity knitting too. Thank you
Thanks so much for the patterns – I have made three pairs of the Evenstar for my daughters, in different colours. They are truly beautiful and everyone is now wanting a pair. Yes, I know that they were quite a challenge as I had never used the three/four needles before but now I am addicted! I would advise the other contributors to this page to have a go too – there is nothing like achieving something new!
Kathy & Jenny – Just finished my first pair of ribby wristwarmers….a present for my boss, no less!! Used 2 needles size 8 & pink/rose variegated yarn (her favorite color). Easy pattern in “The Knitter’s Bible, knitted accessories” by Claire Crompton, page 52. The work up fast! Will add ribbon threaded in and out along wrist. Good luck!
knitting is a lost art, thanks for the patterns.
Hi,
Also looking for patterns for 2 needle fingerless gloves/mitts?
Actually before our winter is over.
Many Thanks
Jenny
Does anyone have a pattern for 2 needle fingerless gloves/mitts?
Those are beautiful. But I’d prefer sewing to knitting.
Would appreciate,if someone care to share a sewing pattern to those fingerless gloves.
Thank you.
They are beautiful.
Thank you.
