Roine mittens
Introducing the Roine Mittens knitting pattern, an exquisite design inspired by the enchanting Roine Lake in Finland. These mittens are meticulously knitted in the round from the bottom up, providing both warmth and style for the chilly season. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, the Roine Mittens make a delightful project for anyone looking to create cozy accessories for themselves or loved ones.
These mittens come in two sizes: Child (16 cm circumference around palm) and Adult (18 cm circumference around palm), ensuring a perfect fit for everyone in the family. For the Child size, you’ll need approximately 65 grams (455 meters or 498 yards) of Holst Garn Coast yarn, while the Adult size requires around 80 grams (560 meters or 613 yards) of the same yarn. The recommended colors showcased in the photos are Warm Brown, Powder, and Putty, but feel free to customize with your favorite colors!
For this project, you'll hold three threads of yarn together to create a plush and rich fabric. The knitting needles required for the Roine Mittens are Size 4 US (3.5 mm) double-pointed needles and Size 6 US (4 mm) double-pointed needles. Achieving the correct gauge is essential; you should aim for 22 stitches and 32 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) in Stockinette Stitch on the larger needle with three yarns held together. This will ensure your mittens have the right fit and warmth.
In addition to your yarn and needles, gather some essential materials: stitch holders or waste yarn, stitch markers, and a tapestry needle to finish off your project neatly.
