Rose Jam Mitts

Introducing the Rose Jam Mitts—a cozy and stylish pair of worsted-weight fingerless mitts, designed with an all-over texture reminiscent of delicate rose petals. The exquisite cabling mimics the heart-shaped petals of classic old-fashioned roses, making these mitts not only functional but also visually appealing. Best of all, you’ll find the cabled petals easy to knit, as the pattern allows you to create stunning cables without the need for a cable needle.

This pattern requires you to have a few essential knitting skills, including knitting small circumferences in the round, making m1 increases, and working with 2-stitch cables. For your convenience, a comprehensive guide on how to knit cables without a cable needle is included, making this project perfect for knitters of various skill levels.

Materials Needed: To craft the Rose Jam Mitts, you'll need 140 yards (approximately 128 metres) of worsted-weight yarn. For my sample, I used 1 skein of Malabrigo Rios, a premium 100% merino wool that comes in 210 yards (192 metres) per 100g skein, in the stunning color ‘Ravelry Red.’ Additionally, you’ll require some waste yarn for temporarily holding the thumb stitches.

Sizing Information: The mitts are designed to fit a women's medium size, accommodating a palm circumference of 7.5 inches, while maintaining enough stretch to comfortably fit hands measuring between 7 to 8 inches. Helpful suggestions for resizing are also included within the pattern to ensure a perfect fit for everyone.

You will find both charted and written instructions provided in this pattern, allowing you to choose the method that suits you best. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, the Rose Jam Mitts are an ideal project that combines warmth, style, and a hint of floral charm.

Please note, this pattern is intended for personal use only. Dive into your next knitting adventure and bring a touch of elegance to your winter wardrobe with these beautiful Rose Jam Mitts!
