Inspired by my favorite early summer flower and a trip to England, Rose Bud Mittens are a reminder of warmth and life to come while in the heart of winter. Twisted stitches create stems while a bobble technique creates the rose buds. Worked in the round on a reverse stockinette background, these mittens begin with twisted ribbing. They are a fun small project to keep you warm and full of hope through the winter months!
