Graph 118 - District of Vidzeme
This mitten comes from the district of Vidzeme and the original was knit in navy, medium grey-blue, white and burgundy and features a fringed cuff, navy and burgundy braid, and a medium crosshatch star rotated on the diagonal.
Latvian mittens were knit originally on needles varying in size from 0-0000 (2-1.25 mm, 13-16 English). The yarn was usually a fine 2-ply homespun similar to an 8/2 weaving yarn or as fine as a “fingering yarn”. The pattern asks that you find your own gauge with your own needles and yarn and then adjust the graph based on a sizing chart at the back of the book.
The original was knit with white, rust, navy, gray and had a braid.
