Frame Mitts is one of 10 designs in Bespoke, a book which celebrates the magnificent bicycle with stunning knit and crochet designs in Rowan yarns. Published on 16th January, the book is available to pre-order from baa ram ewe.

Inspired by the geometric shapes of bicycle frames, the cable motif on these mitts are mirrored across the pair. Choose from two different lengths to knit - a short, wrist length version perfect for popping in your pockets, or longer arm-length ones for those super windy days.

Short mitts (15.5cm/6” long) require two balls of Rowan Fine Tweed; long mitts (31cm/12.25” long) require three balls.

Cable pattern is given in chart form only.
