’Rosemaling Mitts’ have been designed by Tif Fussell (Dottie Angel) for Loop London’s 10th anniversary book ‘10’.
Available early September, pre-order your copy through Loop, London (loopknitting.com) or your local LYS.
In the States the book is distributed through Deep South Fibers, while stock lasts, after that and for the rest of the world, through Loop, London.

‘Loop’s 10’ has 12 patterns celebrating 10 fabulous years of Loop,London. All patterns are written and charted. Each printed book comes with a download code.

An ideal beginners project for those who know a little knitting, a little crochet and now fancy dabbling in a little embroidery! These easy mitts are edged with simple crochet, and provide a blank canvas for what Tiff calls a ‘woolly tattoo’. Adorn your plain knits with a special motif and find a home for precious scraps. Use our template provided or experiment with your own arrangement of petals and tendrils.

Note: ‘Turbillion’ is a beautiful bespoke color for Loop,London. This pattern will of course look beautiful in many color combinations.
