Instructions

My grandmother was sick in 2008, I went to take care of her for a month and made several pairs of fair isle mitts or mittens. This was one pair that I came up with, with the help of the Latvian Mittens book.

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Whimsical, Classic, Traditional, Retro / Vintage, Romantic, Outdoorsy


Materials

Drops Alpaca in black, pink and gray

What was your inspiration?

I wanted something traditional but fun to wear. These go with everything. 5 years down the line, these are still my mitts that I wear the most.

What are you most proud of?

The way the pattern works with the thumb - it is seamless.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take your time and use the right needle size. These were done on a zero and it was worth every small stitch.
