With two intertwined layers of sport or heavy fingering weight wool, these mittens will keep your hands toasty warm without being bulky.

This pattern is “traditional-ish.” It draws heavily from Icelandic, Norwegian, and Estonian traditions without fitting neatly into any one category.

Because there are fairly long floats in these mittens, I wouldn’t recommend it for a first stranded knitting project.

Pattern requires approximately 175 yards of both main and contrasting colors.
