Knitting Kit – LATVIAN FOLK SONG mittens

Bring Latvian heritage to your needles with the Latvian Folk Song Mittens — a traditional ethnographic design thoughtfully adapted for the modern knitter. I have taken an authentic Latvian mitten pattern and simplified it for today’s needs: fewer stitches than historical originals make the mittens lighter and allow you to use slightly larger needles if preferred, and although several colours create the rich folk effect, you will never work with more than two colours at a time.

The mitten begins with a delicate picot edge (separate instructions included), but it can easily be replaced with simple purl rounds for an even more accessible start. The chart is clear and logical, making this an ideal introduction to confident colourwork.

Warm, practical, and full of symbolic ornament, these mittens carry the spirit of Latvian folk song tradition into everyday wear.

The kit includes:

• premium 100% Baltic wool yarn
• a coloured knitting char, 
• detailed step-by-step written instructions
• separate picot edge guidance with alternative cuff option, and finishing instructions.

Please note: needles are not included.
