Rammage

Meaning wild and untamed in Scots, Rammage is a simple but fun fingerless mitts pattern with a twisted rib and lace pattern with which reminds me of owls, stags and crashing waves. The pattern wraps around the side of the hand and brushes the edge of the palm. For the perfect fit, knit a size which gives you at least 1 cm (0.5”) of negative ease. Check out Fiadhta for the matching socks!

The pattern is fully written instructions, with charts for the lace and rib pattern and also includes a photo tutorial for the Estonian Cast-On and the twisted k2tog. The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the pattern, and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. These additional techniques are used: picking up stitches.
