Knitworthy 4 The collection features 8 patterns intended to make good gifts for everyone on your knitworthy list (because life’s too short to knit for anyone who doesn’t love what you make). Mīlēt Stranded colourwork mittens with foldover cuffs featuring stitch patterns inspired by colourwork traditions from Norway, Estonia and Latvia. Ribbing is worked on the inside of the cuffs for a snug fit that will keep cold winds, or snow, out. The thumbs are worked using the method traditionally found on Selbu mittens from Norway, a relatively small gusset is worked and similar numbers of stitches are put on hold and cast on to bridge the gap before continuing the hand. The tops are completed with rounded shaping in a star or snowflake design inspired by the tops of Fair Isle tams. A miniature version is worked on the thumbs. This shaping means that the only real difference in the hands is the way the patterns line up—if you’re in a hurry they’ll be perfectly comfortable on the “wrong” hand. The repetitive lice pattern used for the majority of the mittens is easy to keep track of without paying attention to the chart so they work up relatively quickly. Yarn Heavy fingering / sport weight wool yarn. Shown in Rauma Finullgarn (100% Norwegian wool, 191 yds / 175m, 1.76oz / 50g) C1: 401 C2: 4387 C3: 4197 C1: 40 yds / 40m C2: 135 yds / 125m C3: 75 yds / 70m Needles Size US 2½ / 3mm dpns or preferred needles for working small circumferences in the rnd Size US 1½ / 2.5mm dpns or preferred needles for working small circumferences in the rnd Gauge 34 sts and 36 rnds = 4” / 10cm in charted stranded colourwork pattern with larger needle Sizing Finished circumference at palm: 9” / 23cm Finished length (with cuff folded): 9½” / 24cm
