![]() The top of the head finishes on round 59. Start the tail on round 40 of the pattern (1 round before you start the thumb). White squares for knit, dark squares for purl. ![]() Don’t forget to put the thumb on opposite sides of the dragon! I made the 2 gloves mirror-image, with the dragons both facing in towards the thumb, so I worked the dragon pattern left-to-right for one glove and right-to-left for the other (if this sounds confusing you could make them both the same). The thumb starts on round 41, and the top of the head finishes on round 60. Start the tail on round 21 of the Simple Mitts pattern. You can put stitch markers where the dragon starts and ends to make life easier. Note that you’ll still need to knit around each round: the patterns below don’t cover the whole glove. Just purl every time you get to a dark square and you’ll make a dragon. The gloves are worked in the round, and the rounds where the dragon is made are all knit (no ribbing). Although I’ve never knitted gloves before, I found the pattern easy to follow and I think they turned out very well (especially the second pair: my sister’s… I made a few mistakes on mine!) To make the gloves, I used the Simple Mitts free pattern by Kitty Adventures: thanks for the great pattern! You’ll need 50g of fingering weight yarn and 2.25mm double-pointed needles. The little dragons fit nicely on the back of the glove, and the big ones wrap around your hand a bit. I made two versions: after trying out a pair of gloves with the large pattern, I thought smaller dragons might look better, so I made a second pair for my sister in some fabulous multicolour blue yarn. I turned the Kirkwall heraldry from Dragon Age 2 into a knitting pattern.
