Overview

This is the ultimate collection of knitting patterns for Latvian mittens with 100 knitting patterns and charts. Author Ieva Ozolina has created a brand new collection of stranded colourwork knitting patterns for traditional Latvian mittens and we have combined these brand new patterns with patterns previously published in her books: Knit Like a Latvian and Knit Like a Latvian Accessories, in order to create this bumper edition of knitting patterns. Traditionally, knitting in Latvia has been very important with children being taught how to knit from an early age at school. Brides were expected to gift hand knitted mittens at their weddings and the designs and colours used in Latvian mitten knitting are steeped in tradition and folk lore. The traditional pointed design of Latvian mittens is very distinctive, along with the beautiful Latvian braid which is often featured in Latvian knitting designs, particularly around the cuff of mittens. This collection features 100 different designs for you to try with large colour charts for each design so you can easily follow even the most elaborate patterns. There are instructions for the basic mitten, glove and fingerless glove patterns as well as step-by-step instructions for techniques such as forming the thumb, Latvian braids and other cuff finishing techniques including fringing and notches.
