Knit a pair of whimsical Butterfly Fingerless Gloves with 3D wings! This cottage core-inspired design is knit flat on straight needles using heavy worsted weight yarn, making it perfect for advanced beginners or anyone new to colorwork.

The butterfly’s body is worked directly into the glove, while the wings are knit separately and sewn on for a striking 3D effect. You can also read the free version of this pattern online here:

The 16-page PDF includes clear instructions, photos, and video links to help with the trickier parts like the head, body, and wings.

These gloves are cozy, practical, and full of charm—great as a gift or as a unique addition to your handmade wardrobe. Sizing can easily be adjusted by changing needle size, keeping the butterfly perfectly proportioned.
