This Outlander Claire fingerless gloves pattern will allow you to practice knitting a simple rib stitch and the finished mitts will look great made with any yarn in any colour.
I wanted to share with you another free knitting pattern that has been inspired by the TV show Outlander.
This is the sixth pattern in my Outlander collection, you can see the first – the Fraser’s Ridge flat knit fingerless mittens here.

Outlander
If you have been watching the Outlander TV series, you have probably noticed the beautiful knitted pieces that main character Claire wears, including her ribbed brown fingerless mittens.
Claire is seen wearing them as hand and wrist warmers, but in my design, I left a gap for my thumb, so they can be worn either way.
They can be made in any colour, I made mine in brown natural wool, so not only are they warm they are really soft to wear.
Outlander Knitting Patterns
Whenever I watch Outlander I just love to look at the costumes and see how beautifully they are pieced together.
I think that everything about the show really transports you to another place when you watch.
I don’t have a Jamie, but I do have Jason (my doggo) who just happens to be a very handsome redhead and agreed to appear in the photograph below for a biscuit!
Outlander Knits
I wanted to make a collection of knits that are inspired by both Claire and her daughter Brianna, from mitts to scarves.

Outlander Claire Fingerless Mittens
The Outlander Claire fingerless gloves are perfect for the colder weather, as they have been knit with medium weight yarn (04), in La Mia natural wool (100g) colour brown H5.
Using knit and purl stitches, you will create ribbing, knit flat – either on straight or circular needles (but not joining in the round).
The thumb hole is explained in the pattern and is easy to do, you just leave a gap when you seam the mittens.

The Outlander Claire gloves use basic knitting stitches – knitting and purling to create the design.
