ENG Falling leaves gloves

Knit matching gloves with the Falling leaves skirt! The gloves are knitted just like a sock and are knitted from bottom to top. The leaf pattern is, as it were, woven into the knitting during knitting. Like embroidery.

How this works is discussed in the written pattern. Of course you can also knit it with sock yarn or yarn of your choice. And the great thing is: They are ready in no time!

Start by setting up the collar. This is knitted in twisted stitch. Then follow the knitting pattern of the autumn leaves. The total length of the glove is 18 cm. If you already have some experience with knitting gloves, you can of course also knit fingers on them!

Or use scrap yarn for this. In this case I still had enough yarn left from the skirt to knit this pair of fingerless gloves.

What is Roosimine knitting?

Roosimine is an Estonian knitting technique that has the appearance of embroidery. It is created by 'weaving' a pattern between the stitches while knitting.

The name Roosimine means "to decorate with roses". It comes from a style of short stitch embroidery done on the Estonian island of Muhu. This technique can be called either Roosimine or Roositud. Roosimine is the verb or action of performing the technique, while Roositud refers to the finished product.
