Láð is the third of five mitten patterns where the inspiration comes from Icelandic cross-stitch patterns from 15th to 18th century.
The colors I use are mostly earth tones and are inspired from an old cross-stitch wall-hanging from my grandparents house.

These mittens come in two sizes; womens medium and large and are worked in the round from the bottom to top using 5 double pointed needles, followed by knitting the thumb using 4 double pointed needles.
Begin with needles US 1.5 (2.5 mm) and knit the edge, the Latvian braids and the cuff chart pattern. Then change to needles US 2 (2.75 mm) for size M and US 2.5 (3 mm) for size L and knit the body of the mittens chart pattern.

For a pair of mittens you will need 1 skein of each color. (Kambgarn)

Votter som er morsomme å strikke.

Láð er þriðja vettlinga uppskriftin af fimm þar sem innblásturinn kemur frá íslenskum útsaums munstrum frá ca. 16. til 19. öld. Litirnir sem ég nota í þessari vettlinga línu eru að mestu jarðar tónar en þar studdist ég við liti í gömlu, útsaumuðu veggteppi sem hékk alltaf uppi á vegg hjá ömmu minni og afa.

Vettlingarnir koma í tveimur stærðum; kvenmanns medium og large. Í uppskriftina eru notaðir 5 prjónar nr. 2.5 mm og fimm prjónar nr. 2.75 fyrir stærð medium og nr. 3 mm fyrir stærð large.

Ein dokka af hverjum lit af Kambgarni nægir fyrir eitt par af vettlingum.
