THE BIG BOOK OF LATVIAN MITTENS by IEVA OZOLINA

This is the ultimate collection of knitting patterns for colourful Latvian mittens, featuring 100 knitting patterns and charts.

Author Ieva Ozolina has designed 33 new patterns for traditional Latvian mittens and gloves. The collection features 100 different patterns 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 and artworks for techniques such as forming the thumb, Latvian braids and other cuff finishing techniques including fringing and notches.

All of the designs are made using stranded colourwork techniques and the same tools and materials - 2 ply 100% wool and double pointed needles - so it's perfect for using up scraps of colourful yarn you have in your stash.
