Finally, I’m back to my end-of-the-month schedule for releasing fingerless mitt patterns. This free pattern was inspired by quadrotriticale, a specially-crafted grain that was able to grow on the otherwise-barren Sherman’s Planet in the Star Trek universe. It was a major plot point on the episode “The Trouble with Tribbles”… oh, I seem to have attracted one!

They’re so cute! I wonder if this one will be… oh dear.

They’re multiplying… better make some for yourself and lure a few away before they take over my house! 😉 They’re free on Ravelry and a quick, fun knit.

I managed to get it done within a week – my new free pattern, Over and Over Mitts (on Ravelry)!

It’s my most customisable mitts pattern to date, including three widths and three lengths for you to mix and match, as well as allowing for further width customisation as you please. I’ve also written the pattern to be knit in the round with switching to rows for a thumb hole, and to be knit totally flat and seamed up the side, depending on what you prefer. Give them a go and see how easy fingerless mitt knitting can be! 🙂

I’m sorry for the late post – I just can’t get these mitts finished and pattern published today in a state I’m happy with. To make up for it, I’ll be publishing two fingerless mitts patterns in April – this current one, letter O, in the coming week, and the letter P mitts toward the end of the month again. Thanks for your patience.

As usual, it’s almost the end of the month and that means another free fingerless mitts pattern is due to be released. I’m working on it right now and it’s taking me a bit longer because I’m making the whole pattern customisable – three lengths and three widths with detailed instructions, and simpler instructions for changing the pattern more to your liking. 🙂 I hope you’ll enjoy it!

It’s the end of the month, so it’s time for another free fingerless mitts pattern – my Nifty Netted Mitts (on Ravelry)!

These are so simple and quick to make – you can make a pair in just one night! The DROPS Big Merino yarn is squishy, soft, and machine-washable to boot. Give them a go!
