Blue Tradition Mitten kit
NOT AVAILABLE
This is a kit, based on a pattern in old weaved rugs in Finland, designed by me, Leena Riihelä and my mother Liisa Rajala.
The kit includes generous amount of yarn dyed with plants,a color photo of the mittens, a chart and general written instruction. The pattern is easily modified to make bigger or smaller mittens.
In the mittens there are five different colors: two natural browns and natural grey and two blue colors dyed with japanese indigo and woad.
From the website: “Riihivilla- mittens are a combination of Finnish tradition, harmonous natural colors and motifs from Finnish nature.”
“These mittens are easy, but they require some experience with stranded knitting and ability to read chart.”
The kit is available in Finnish and in English.
