Bitten | Fingerless Gloves Knitting Pattern

£7.50

Are your hardworking hands often “bitten by the cold,” yearning for soothing warmth that doesn’t compromise on style or freedom? The Bitten Fingerless Gloves knitting pattern is a quick, satisfying project that results in elegant but practical gloves you’ll adore wearing.

These fingerless gauntlet gloves feature exquisite lace trims that add an eye-catching detail, allowing you to choose between single or doubled yarns for different effects, or even a simpler look.

When knitted with soft, luxurious fibres, like the ones I chose from Eden Cottage Yarns, they become incredibly warm and genuinely soothing for cold hands, providing comfort without restricting your movement for everyday tasks.

Knitting a pair of gloves might feel like a leap if you’re a relative newbie, but the Bitten pattern makes knitting separate fingers wonderfully approachable. Designed with a flat construction, this is an ideal pattern for knitters new to glove making.

You’ll master essential techniques like picking up stitches and creating elegant lace, all while building your confidence with every stitch. This thoughtful design ensures a beautiful, tailored fit that cocoons your hands and allows your well-wrapped fingers to wiggle freely…or just makes it easier to text friends and family whilst you wait for the next train.

Beyond their practical warmth and comfort, the Bitten gloves are a soft, feminine accessory that embodies effortless style. They’re the perfect accent to any outfit, from cozy casual to subtly dressed up, ensuring you feel comfortable in your own skin, no matter what the day brings.

Ready to knit a beautiful, comforting, and confidence-boosting accessory for your hands? Discover the Bitten Fingerless Gloves pattern and wrap your hands in handmade elegance and warmth.

Description

This fingerless gauntlet gloves knitting pattern is a lovely weekend project!  If you have any particularly gorgeous DK yarn on standby, the Bitten gloves are ideal.

Knitted up in Titus Lace and Lowther Lace from Eden Cottage Yarns, these gloves are incredibly warm, soft, and soothing on hands bitten by the cold.

The Bitten gloves are offered in six sizes, ranging from a 15cm/6in palm to a 25.5cm/10in palm.  Comprehensive notes are included so that you get the best possible fit.  You’ll get advice for fitting the hand, construction variations, and knitting fully-fingered gloves.

Pretty lacy trims and plenty of colour variation for your gloves

The doubled lacy trims are also an eye-catching detail.  In the blue sample, each yarn is held SINGLE to knit the trims, which creates a beautiful layered effect.  Next, the two yarns are held together to knit the main part of the glove.

On the other hand, the silver sample shows both yarns held together to work the trims, as for the main part of the glove.

I encourage you to have fun with colour, if not stashbusting, if you choose to knit the trims!  In addition, you can omit the trims if you prefer a simpler look.

Colour combinations for your fingerless gloves

To help with this, the lovely folk at Eden Cottage Yarns have put together some beautiful yarn kits and colour combinations.  There is a dedicated yarn collection for the Bitten gloves on their website.  You can also take a look at their Bitten Gloves album on Flickr for more.

Everything is knitted flat, which makes this fingerless glove knitting pattern more accessible to beginners.  The thumb gore lies at the centre of the knitting, and the side seam is parallel with the side of the hand, starting at the little finger.

The lace trims are knitted lengthways.  Stitches are picked up along the straight edge of the trim to begin the main part of the glove, which is in stocking stitch.  Finally, the finger edges are trimmed with garter stitch.

Special Techniques for the Bitten gloves knitting pattern

  • Lace increases and decreases (yarn over, ssk, k2tog, sl1-k2tog-psso)
  • Make 1 style increases
  • Picking up stitches through two layers of fabric

The silver sample was knitted in Eden Cottage Yarns Titus Lace and Lowther Lace.  Both of these yarns were held together throughout.  Substitution advice is given in the pattern notes, especially for those allergic to mohair.  You may also like to visit YarnSub for more immediate information: https://yarnsub.com/
