Description


Roosimine is an Estonian inlay technique that creates the appearance of embroidery through intentional floats in contrasting yarn on the right side of your knitting.

It’s the perfect technique to add some embellishment to your knitting that is easier than intarsia. The name Roosimine translates to “decorating with roses”, which comes from a style of short stitch embroidery done on the Estonian island of Muhu.

Students will learn:
• How to read Roosimine charts • Working with moving inlay yarn • Hand sewn back stitch steek
• Tensioning
• Finishing


SKILL LEVEL:

Intermediate - Students should be comfortable knitting in the round and reading from charts


MATERIALS:


4mm / US 6 needles for knitting small circumference (Double pointed needles or circular needles for magic loop)

Stitch markers

DK yarn in 2 contrasting colours approx. 20g of each colour
