There are so many talented designers this year as part of the Indie Design Gift-A-Long, I just had to highlight some of the really awesome patterns I’ve come across by my fellow designers.
Every Wednesday from now until December 31st (with maybe a few Fridays/Saturdays thrown in – it’s really difficult to choose only a few patterns), I’ll be posting some highlights, each pattern from a different designer. By no means are these lists exhaustive – there are so many cool patterns, I had to spend a few hours whittling down my lists to post here.
First up, we have gloves and mitts! A really awesome quick knit for gift giving, the patterns below really caught my eye.
Leighton House Handwarmers by Ella Austin
From the pattern description:
These lightweight handwarmers are an ideal extra layer for when the weather is not as warm as you would like it to be!
Silver Fir Mitts by Kerri Blumer
From the pattern description:
Silver Fir Mitts feature a horizontally knit cuff with a button-up detail. A single cable panel grows up from the cuff like a lone fir tree.
Uses approximately 135 yds of DK weight yarn
Ballydesmond by Irishgirlieknits
From the pattern description:
These fingerless gloves practically knit themselves with their intuitive cables. The pattern is written for either sport or worsted weight yarns, and the worsted version is a quick gift knit too!
Uses approximately 185 yds of worsted weight yarn
Skogar Mitts by Christelle Nihoul.
From the pattern description:
Easy to knit and cosy to wear, these fingerless mittens are perfect for foggy mornings.
Uses 200-2019 yds of fingering weight yarn.
Mandarijn by Jen Lucas.
Made with a delicate lace stitch, and uses 400 yds of fingering weight yarn.
