About The Design:
All textiles intrigue me. Weavers will recognize this pattern as the Scandinavian Rosepath/Rosengang, which translates easily into color pattern knitting, with its small repeat!

I love to use Lamb’s Pride Worsted for mitts and mittens, as it makes such a cozy fabric. The pattern offers 3 colorways and 2 sizes in your choice of a shorter or longer length mitt.

Fingerless mitts are small, quick projects that can be knit year ‘round and saved up for holiday or winter birthday gifts!
