These mittens are a tribute to the Icelanders who moved to the West “ before the turn of the century and had to learn new farming methods and live in completely different weather conditions than they were accustomed to. I would like to note that the patterns are opposite for the right and left mitten, so the houses will be mirrored and together the backs of the hands form a small cluster of houses😊.
Traditional two-band mitten knit with Latvian braid and a simple strap. The pattern is irregular. Long bands (carried yarn) are formed only in a few places, which can be fixed in every third loop behind. Total instructions along with links to explanatory videos are in the pattern.
