Fingerless Mitts for All Seasons

I am very pleased to present an exclusive PieceWork eBook collection, Fingerless Mitts for All Seasons.

Fetching and fun to make, fingerless mitts meld the traditional with tech-friendliness in the nicest of ways—you can warm up your hands and wield your mobile phone with ease. They do not require a large amount of yarn and making them is a great way to learn a new technique, or try a new fiber, in a project that is an approachable size.

Ruhnu Mitts to Knit

Designed by Riina Tomberg; pattern by Nancy Bush

A collaboration between Riina Tomberg and Nancy Bush resulted in these magnificent mitts based on 19th and 20th century patterns from the Estonian island of Ruhnu. Traveling stitches framed by eyelet ladders enhance the hands, while a decorative cast-on and stranded colorwork cuffs add warmth to the wrists and pulse points for these winter-ready woolens.

Mehndi-Inspired Wedding Mitts to Knit

by Katrina King

In times past, hand coverings served the vital purpose of shielding one’s hands from the sun. For the summer, Katrina King’s “Mehndi Inspired Wedding Mitts” are a showstopping accent for a bride or even a best-dressed guest, and a lightweight sun screen for all.

Fingerless Rovaniemi Mittens to Knit

by Leena Kariniemi-Alve

For fall, try out the unusual and clever colorwork technique that defines Leena Kariniemi-Alve’s “Rovaniemi Mittens.” Not intarsia or stranded work per se, in this traditional Scandinavian method the pattern colors follow their own path upward, but only the main color completes the rounds. Make a pair for yourself, or for the men in your life—the striking geometric embellishment fronts a practical mitt that is ideal for driving, cycling, or walking the dog.
