Description of the pattern
Frosted Flower gloves are inspired by gloves that were knitted and worn in Estonia on festive occasions in the 19th century, such as at church or at a wedding.

Different elements of ethnical knitting are combined in the Frosted Flower gloves. The cuffs begin and end with Latvian braid. The middle part of the cuff has a pattern in stranded colorwork with motifs from Estonian island Muhu. The top of the hand has a lacy head motif (from the book “Pitsilised koekirjad”, Leili Reimann)
