Dog Rose fingerless mitts
Discover the charm of our PDF knitting pattern for a stunning pair of fingerless mitts/gloves adorned with two beautiful Dog Roses on the front of each glove. These exquisite mitts feature a plain palm design, allowing the intricate floral motifs to truly stand out. The pattern also incorporates a delicate picot edging at both the bottom of the wrist rib and the top of each glove, adding an elegant touch to your knitted creations.
The featured gloves in the accompanying photographs were skillfully knitted using dark grey Yeoman Yarns Sport 4ply. The vibrant roses are crafted in Rowan pure wool 4ply, showcasing a stunning contrast with a rich dark rose and a soft pale pink. Additionally, the flower centers are highlighted in yellow Rowan Fine Tweed, while the leaves and stalks use a delightful combination of light lime and olive Rowan pure wool 4ply. However, you can easily substitute these yarns with any suitable 4ply weight yarn to match your personal style or preferences.
The Dog Rose motifs are expertly knitted using the intarsia method, providing a seamless and professional finish. For those who prefer a simpler approach, the mitts can also be knitted in plain stocking stitch, with the flower designs added later using the duplicate stitch technique. This versatility ensures that knitters of all skill levels can enjoy creating these lovely mitts.
Included with this pattern are comprehensive charts for both the left and right mitt, alongside clearly typed knitting instructions to guide you through the entire process. The approximate measurements for the finished mitts are: 9cm/3.5” wide (unstretched and not including the thumb), 14cm/5.5” long from the top of the rib to the longest part of the picot cast-off edge, and a depth of 3cm/1.25” for the rib, measured from the longest part of the picot cast-on edge. These stylish mitts can easily be modified to be slightly larger or smaller by adjusting the needle size, making them a customizable project for anyone.
Perfect as a thoughtful gift or a unique accessory for yourself, these fingerless mitts will keep your hands warm while allowing your fingers full mobility. Don’t miss the chance to elevate your knitting skills with this beautiful pattern! (c)Twisted Classics
