The Rosewood Mitts (Light) by Jenny Noto uses the thorn stitch to create a beautiful and versatile stitch pattern that can be done in a single colorway or two. The pattern is named after a wand from the Harry Potter books. Rosewood is an uncommon wand wood, with only two known witches possessing wands made with it. Rosewood wands “are not very compatible with Dark magic as this wood represents love and purity. They are known to excel in love spells and healing magic.” - Pottermore fandom
This pattern includes both the fingerless and full coverage mittens, and has instructions for both worsted weight and aran/ light bulky weight yarns. (Separate files.)
Special note: This pattern takes a quite a bit of yarn so make sure you have a back up plan just in case. This is especially important if you are using something like Malabrigo Mecha, which can sometimes be less than the stated 130 yards, or if you have longer fingers.
I have done my best to give the higher end of yardage requirements. However, due to variances in hand lengths, widths, and adjustments for personal preferences, please make sure you have AT LEAST the recommended yardage.
