Description
The Big Book of Latvian Mittens is the ultimate collection of knitting patterns for Latvian mittens, featuring 100 knitting patterns and charts. Author Ieva Ozolina has curated a brand new collection of stranded colourwork knitting patterns for traditional Latvian mittens. This collection combines these new patterns with those previously published in her books: Knit Like a Latvian and Knit Like a Latvian Accessories, creating a comprehensive edition of knitting patterns.
In Latvia, knitting has traditionally held great importance, with children learning the skill from a young age at school. Brides were expected to gift hand-knitted mittens at their weddings, with designs and colours steeped in tradition and folklore. The traditional pointed design of Latvian mittens is distinctive, often featuring the beautiful Latvian braid, particularly around the cuff.
This collection includes 100 different designs for you to explore, each accompanied by large colour charts to help you easily follow even the most elaborate patterns. You'll find instructions for basic mittens, gloves, and fingerless gloves, as well as step-by-step guides for techniques like forming the thumb, creating Latvian braids, and other cuff finishing techniques, including fringing and notches.
Author: Ieva Ozolina is the owner of the brand HobbywoolRiga in Latvia, where she sells knitting patterns and kits for Latvian mittens and socks. She travels widely, promoting her business.
Selling Points:
- Featuring over 30 brand new patterns.
