All four projects are cute and fun, but I must say that I have gotten the most use out of my fingerless gloves. I have worn them almost every day since I made them and yes, they are on my hands right now as I type this post. What can I say? My hands are always cold.
Many thanks to Clover for providing me with a Standing Oval Knitting Loom. Also, if you would like an opportunity to win all the materials needed to complete all four patterns, don't miss this month's giveaway, going on through January 23, 2017, sponsored by Clover.
Loom Knit Fingerless Gloves Pattern
Materials
- Clover Standing Oval Loom
- 1 skein (7 oz/198 g, 370 yds/338 m) of Red Heart With Love Yarn in White
- 1 skein (7 oz/198 g, 370 yds/338 m) of Red Heart With Love Yarn in Bubble Gum
- ruler
- tape measure
Directions
The loom includes detailed instructions for how to cast on and make knit and purl stitches. Before you begin, take a moment to familiarize yourself with casting on and making knit stitches.
This pattern is a little different than any of the others in this series because their is a different pattern for the left and right mitts so that they are a mirror image of each other.

Begin by casting on with the Bubble Gum yarn following the directions included with the loom. The basic idea is that you loosely wrap the yarn counter clockwise around each peg moving clockwise around the loom. After all the pegs have been wrapped once, repeat the process once more.
Row 1: Knit the first row by using the hook to lift the bottom wrap up and over the top wrap, then over the peg so only one wrap remains on each peg.
|
Row 2- 9: Knit on all of the pegs using Bubble Gum yarn.
 |
Row 10: With the White yarn, skip the first peg, knit on the next three pegs, skip 1 peg by bringing the working yarn behind the peg, knit on the next 3 pegs. Repeat this pattern around the rest of the loom - skip one peg, knit on 3 pegs. |
Row 11: With Bubble Gum, knit around all of the pegs.
Repeat Row 10 and 11 twelve more times.
Now it's time to make the thumbholes. For this section you still work your stitches around all of the pegs, but some of the rows are worked clockwise (CW) from peg 1-24 and some are worked counter clockwise (CCW) from peg 24-1 around the loom so there is a gap in your work between peg 24 and peg 1.
Row 12 (CW): With White, [skip one peg by bringing the working yarn behind the peg, knit on the next 3 pegs], repeated the bracketed section around the loom.
Row 13 (CCW): With Bubble Gum, knit around all of the pegs.
Row 14 (CCW): With White, [knit on the next 3 pegs, skip one peg by bringing the working yarn behind the peg], repeated the bracketed section around the loom.
Row 15 (CW): With Bubble Gum, knit around all of the pegs.
Repeat Row 12-14 one more time.
Now that the thumbhole is complete, the rest of the pattern is worked around all the pegs, clockwise, just like in the beginning.
Row 16: With Bubble Gum, knit around all of the pegs.
Row 17: With White, [skip one peg by bringing the working yarn behind the peg, knit on the next 3 pegs], repeated the bracketed section around the loom.
Repeat Row 16 - 17 seven more times.
Row 18: With Bubble Gum, knit around all of the pegs.
Trim the White yarn to about 12 inches an the Bubble Gum to about 60 inches. Follow the loom instructions for a "Sewn Bind Off" using the Bubble Gum yarn. Follow the loom instructions for "Tightening and Finishing Edges" for both the cast on and bound off edges.
Finally, use the darning needle to weave in and conceal the yarn end on the inside of the mitt.
