Description ~ Estonian Knitting - Fingerless Mitts

Estonian knitting has a rich tradition of colorwork with unique and beautiful techniques. In this class Kristin will teach how to work Roosimine into your knitting. Roosimine is an Estonian inlay technique that looks like embroidery, or weaving. Kristin wanted to find the perfect project for this technique, and choose Aleks Byrd's stunning Hilja Fingerless Mitts.

Kristin reached out to Aleks, and got permission to use her pattern for this class. Aleks named after her grandmother who taught her this technique. Roosemine is a combination of stranded colorwork and intarsia. Don't worry! It's easier than it looks! This is the perfect gateway project to learn this beautiful technique.
