DESIGN: BJÖRG PJETURSDÓTTIR

COLOURING BOOK
Included in this pattern is a colouring book for the design BP 08 RENDUR mittens. Children can visualise their wishes for the look of their BP 08 mittens. The colouring book allows the knitters, the creator’s creativity to be free and play with colours, surfaces, stripes.

METHOD
The mittens are worked in the round. Sts for the thumb are slipped onto a holder while the mitten is worked. The thumb is worked at the end. Increases are made on each side of knit stitches both on the thumb and the top of the mitten. A loose cast on is necessary in order to avoid the mittens being too tight.

I have admired Björg Pjetursdóttir’s project RENDUR for a long time. She designed a series of patterns with the purpose to make use of leftover yarns.

I became captivated by these handmade, colourful garments, and in 2016 the dream of presenting Björgs patterns in einrúm yarn came true for me. We began working on the project of implementing and adjusting the patterns to the einrúm yarn and giving a hint on how one might use leftover yarn. The patterns allow the creator’s creativity to be free and play with colours, surfaces, stripes.
