Rosetta Mittens

Discover the beauty of craftsmanship with our exquisite mittens, inspired by the stunning south Rose Window of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. These elegant mittens are designed for regular ladies' size and crafted through the intricate technique of knitting in the round on five double-pointed needles (dpns). The recommended gauge for this project is 36 stitches and 36 rows per 10 cm, ensuring a perfect fit and comfortable wear.

This detailed knitting pattern includes a comprehensive written description and easy-to-follow charts to guide you through the making process. Additionally, our “Tips & Explanations” section covers various techniques, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. The skills you'll need to complete this pattern include the fundamental stitches: knit and purl, as well as increases, decreases, and picking up new stitches for the thumb. You’ll also learn how to read charts, enhancing your overall knitting expertise.

For this project, we suggest using Drops Fabel yarn in black combined with Austerman Step in a contrasting color. However, any wool or wool blend will work beautifully as long as you maintain the specified gauge. Ideally, you will need approximately 20 grams (70 meters) of Colour 1 (black) and 25 grams (110 meters) of Colour 2 (variegated) to complete the mittens. Alternatively, for a sparkly twist, consider using Opal Glitter or Cewec Salida Glitter as a contrast color, adding a touch of elegance and charm to your finished creation.
