Fingerless Mittens Embellished with Inlay; Also called RooSistud or RooSismine “to Decorate with Roses”

There are 5 sizes of mittens - more sizes can be added by changing the needle size. The smallest size will fit a child about 8 to 10 years old.

Please read the pattern before you start knitting. This is a mix and match style of pattern. Pick your size; pick your cuff pattern; pick the chart you wish to work in and pick your thumb pattern. Or work a plain mitten with only an Inlay pattern. Your choice - make a plan and have a wonderful time.

Knit the mittens with a single colour cuff or a multicoloured cuff. Mittens as shown were made with 5 or more colours! Everything you need for the Inlay is in your stash of leftover sock, fingering or 4-ply bits!

You will never throw away another piece of yarn. The Estonian Inlay technique can take a yard of yarn and turn it into a flower – all done as you knit. The yarn is woven in and out of the knitting as you work across your row, following a charted motif, and creating wonderful patterns.

This technique works best with a tight gauge. If in doubt please do a gauge swatch.

Happy Knitting
