Classically stranded mittens pattern with a Latvian braid and a simple ribbing.

When I was a child, we used to go on family adventures to Ásbyrgi, which is a very distinctively horseshoe shaped, forest grown depression east of Húsavík. According to legend, Ásbyrgi emerged, when Odin‘s horse Sleipnir tread the ground forcefully. Due to the steep rock walls, the acoustics are outstanding. Designing these mittens made me remember my dad, who demonstrated to me and my siblings how the echo sounded.

Thorough explanations as well as links to technical videos are included in the knitting techniques chapter.
