Briar Rose Mitts

Stranded mitts = super cozy hands! As the weather turns cooler, we all crave that perfect warmth, and the Briar Rose Mitts provide just that. This delightful pattern features a modern take on traditional colourwork, drawing inspiration from enchanting rambling roses. These eye-catching, seamless mitts are not only enjoyable to knit but also a stunning accessory to wear.

This pattern introduces several exciting techniques that will enhance your knitting skills, including stranded colourwork, reading charts, corrugated ribbing, and the artful duplicate stitch. While this may seem like a knitter’s workout, the breathtaking results are undoubtedly worth the effort!

The design is anchored in neutral tones, beautifully elevated by the addition of tiny red flowers crafted with duplicate stitch. The palms showcase an eye-catching striped pattern, while the thumbs feature a playful checkerboard motif, adding a unique flair to the mitts.

The sample mitts are intricately knitted using Baa Ram Ewe’s 4ply yarn, Pip Colourwork. For those looking to infuse their mitts with vibrant personality, consider experimenting with multiple colors to create beautiful rose motifs that will truly stand out.

When preparing to knit your own pair, any fingering weight yarn will work beautifully. You’ll need approximately 20 (25, 30) grams each of yarns A and B, along with a small amount of yarn C for the charming flower accents in duplicate stitch.

This pattern has been professionally tech edited by the skilled team at The Knitter magazine and has undergone thorough test knitting, ensuring a smooth crafting experience for you. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a passionate beginner, the Briar Rose Mitts promise to add warmth and a touch of floral elegance to your handmade accessory collection!
