Alright, I know it sounds a little strange to be knitting fingerless gloves during spring, but let’s face the facts. It has been cold, cold, COLD. At this time last year I could see the crocuses starting to pop their little heads out of the soil in my backyard. Today when I looked out the window I saw a 
fresh blanket of snow. I know lately I’ve been writing a lot about spring, but it’s more of a coping mechanism than anything at this point. Most days, I’m so cold I can barely feel my toes.
Although it’s the middle of March, it feels like the middle of February. It’s hard to dress for warmth when you want to celebrate the colorful, vivacious spirit of spring. The trick to keeping your spring spirits high is to don the bright hues anyway! Shove all those dark winter mittens and gloves to the back of your closet and refresh them with some brightly colored cold weather accessories to keep you warm through the home stretch of winter. Petal-hued fingerless gloves are the perfect remedy for those longing for spring.
Color isn’t the only way to infuse spring into your winter gear. Try adding flower shaped buttons or adding some creative floral embroidery to really make those mitts pop. A light and lovely lace pattern also adds a special spring touch. Any one of the six easy knitting patterns below are sure to lift your mood even if the temperature doesn’t budge.
How to Knit Fingerless Gloves for Spring: 6 Fresh Ideas
Streamer Mitts – The whimsical spiral design and colorful hot-to-cold effect of the yarn is what sets these knit fingerless gloves apart from any other pair. The designer of these gloves intended the loop-the-loop squiggles to be an easy chain of surface crochet, but stitched embroidery would also create the same effect. The random, carefree vibe of these mitts makes them a great option for spring.
Swan’s Head Mitts – These gorgeous, spiral knit fingerless gloves are a beautiful way to show off impressive knitting skills. Variegated yarn allows the lovely figure-8 design to show through best, but a solid color yarn would offer subtle elegance as well. The undulating design combined with the blue and green color palette of these knit fingerless gloves makes them a refreshing, creative accessory sure to dash away winter dreariness and boredom.
Streamlined Fingerless Mitts – The bright white juxtaposed with the dark violet color of these knit fingerless gloves makes a great spring option. These aerodynamic mitts give off a fun, futuristic vibe. Pair them with a leather jacket for a fierce look or don them with a light and lacy scarf for an interesting “opposites-attract” fashion statement.
Bluebell Lace Fingerless Mitts – I don’t know about you, but when I think about spring, I immediately think lace. These beautiful blue knit fingerless gloves are the quintessential pattern for those breezy first months of spring. Charming and delicate, yet thick and warm, the Bluebell Lace Fingerless Mitts are the perfect mix of style and function.
Golden Wheat Mitts – The beautiful eyelet pattern combined with the cheerful yellow color make the Golden Wheat Mitts a spring essential. These adorable knit fingerless gloves are a great way to bring a little sunshine to your life – even if the sun isn’t out.
Spring Charm Hand Warmers – An easy way to spring-ify any knit accessory is to add a fun floral button. The Spring Charm Hand Warmers are a basic knit fingerless glove pattern with three sweet, decorative buttons with a tiny engraved flower design.

All of them are beautiful. Love the Swan’s Head mitts, they’re gorgeous. Would just love to win these patterns.
Swan’s head is fascinating
The stitch tutorial book and the stream-lined fingerless mitts are my favorite. I want to make all of them.
I’m torn between Streamlined and Swan’s Head…
Streamlined might be a little easier..
but oooo Swan’s swirl…
definitely BOTH are on my list!!
I love them all, but I would have to pick the Streamlined pair. Something about it brings my eye back there when looking them all over!
Those books looks so amazing!! They would be a real treasure, and would love to win them!
Thanks for the opportunity 🙂

I have to say that Swan’s Head Mitts are totally awesome, and I think I might just take up the challenge and try to knit a pair. Wish me luck…lol.
I will try the Winding mitts.. love the looks of them 🙂
Swan’s Head – reminiscent of “Starry Night”

Swans head would challenge me. But could definitely do the streamlined—I think!
I love them all but if i have to choose i pick the swans head.
I have to say that the spiral swirl captured me immediately. Would love ti try to make them and really think that I could do it.
I love the look of the streamlined ones, and the books look awesome! I’m teaching myself to knit, and these would help me so much!! 🙂
Swans head! Beautiful
Wow–Swan’s Head and Streamlined will turn anyone’s head with joy! Can’t wait to knit them.
The Knit Stich Guide Book looks awesome…..learning new stitches and being able to apply them is so much fun…
I’m more of a plain ask one color toe of girl so I love the Spring Charm. I would definitely make them with a bright color to brighten my look!
I love the Golden Wheat pattern best. The Swan is very eye-catching and a good use of variegated yarn but I’d need a manicure to show it off well.LOL
I like the swan’s head mitts. They are pretty inventive.
Wow! Really like the swans’ head and streamlined. The colors are great also.
Golden Wheat mitts look super comfy, my favorite of the bunch!
Love the Swan’s Head, but they are all special.
Definitely the Pieces of Eight Mitts – they are gorgeous. However, the Streamlined Mitts are a close second.
All of them! But especially the Sean’s Head
The swan;s Headglove Is gorgeous.
These are a great spring addition! I’m still a novice when it comes to knitting, but I love these patterns and I think, because I wouldn’t have to sew the finger portion, that it’s something anyone could knit with enough time and dedication. I can’t wait for the challenge!
I think a knitted flower at the end (where the buttons are) might accent these as a spring-item and make them a little different than the winter clothing I’m hoping to put away soon!
