LuckyStones - Gift kits

Gift kits with hand-dyed yarn and Náttúruprjón's pattern.

I went to Icelanders Day in Gimli Manitoba in August 2022. We stayed at a with a lovely woman, we had never met before but became fast friends. When I first entered the cabin, I immediately noticed the shelf that was there and it was full of small stones, each with it´s individual appearance. She said that as a child, they would look for small pebbles with a hole
in them on the shore of Lake Winnipeg and they were supposed to bring good luck. She had a nice collection of lucky stones and she was also very lucky 😊. To thank her for being a wonderful host, I created a pattern with lots of lucky stones. Who does not need Lucky Stones in their life? This is also the first pattern with colouring from me, I´m going to make the colour called Lukkusteina gray. When I envisioned the colour that should be, I wanted it to be the shade of the light color, I wanted the pattern to fit a bit into the whole, like Lukkusteinar, they are not easy to find, but I had to cover the color a little as it was difficult to knit a pattern with such similar colours.

Traditional two-band mitten knit with Latvian braid and a simple rib. The pattern is irregular.

Complete instructions and links to explanatory videos are included, needles are not included. The yarn is 85% merino wool / 15% nylon, wonderful to knit with.

Needles no. 3 and 3.5 [US 2.5 and 4].
