Fingerless mitt pattern roundup, part 5 – a few final gems

I can’t resist adding just a few gems I overlooked in my earlier posts – plus a couple of patterns just released this week. Then we’re all done! I’ve added permanent links to this pattern roundup series on the Knitfinder pattern resource page – click here to cut to the chase.

Why fingerless mitts? See the first post in the series.

First, more color:
  
Four stranded designs – Marvelous Mitts in Koigu contrasted with a solid-color yarn, Companion Mitts in worsted-weight yarn (there’s a matching tam, too),  Sandia Mitts from Nanette Blanchard of Knitting in Color (look how elegantly the color dominance shades from one to the other) and Laise (worsted weight; you could leave off the half-fingers).

And:
Eliza Redux, pattern rewritten for sock-weight yarn (Noro Kureyon sock, here); slipstitch Mosaic Hand Warmers; Beth Brown-Reinsel’s Dalarna Snowflake Mitts (twined knitting, Aran-weight yarn); and Lucinda Guy’s stranded, modern-looking Yrsa Mitts in Icelandic laceweight yarn.

Now, a little more texture. Intricate:Nereid, Don’t Fence Me In, and Gable Mitts

And simpler:

Waffle Stitch Fingerless Gloves, Malabrigo Hand Thingies with simple slipped-stitch detail on back, and Axel Mitts in bulky yarn with an extra-long ribbed cuff that will almost cover the fingers. All these would be great patterns for men.

Just a couple more lacy mitts:
Merletto combining lace and cables; Archie, simple bold lace in worsted-weight Kureyon; and Bonnie Mitts, in a particularly graceful ogee lace stitch pattern.

Last but not least, Josephine, brand new from Knitcircus Gifts, with a bit of deco-inspired twisted-stitch texture and plenty of beads:
