Add a little forest magic to your wardrobe with these cozy mushroom fingerless gloves! Featuring a charming toadstool motif, this whimsical knitting pattern is perfect for fall walks, cottagecore vibes, or just showing off your love of fungi. Knit flat on two needles, it’s a fun project for anyone comfortable with the basics—and there’s a helpful step-by-step video tutorial to guide you through each row. Grab your yarn and let’s get a little spore-tacular!
If you stumbled upon this pattern but don’t know how to knit, have no fear! I have finished granny gloves available to purchase in my Etsy shop. Use this link o buy a pair 👉🏼 CUSTOM MADE Hand Knit Mushroom Granny Gloves
For this pattern, you’ll need to pull the stitches together so the mushroom stands out from the background. To do this, pass the yarn behind your work and catch it when knitting on the right side. It’s done the same way you do any colour work when knitting. Only with this, pull it snug – tighter than you normally would if making a flat colour motif. The video shows how to do this. Please watch them to make sure you are doing it correctly.
The video is queued to the right spot for each row as you knit the mushroom. I only added the video to the right hand. If you need to see how to make a stitch when making the left hand, you can easily go back to the same numbered row in the right hand.
If you have never made fingerless gloves from the fingers to the cuff, you may want to practice with the basic pattern first. If you would like to, click this link or tap the photo.
