Sarma is a delicate yet warm pair of mittens and is designed as a part of the set with Sarma Hat.
Pattern is worked in wool and mohair held together for extra warmth and gently marled effect. Mitten features an offset thumb gusset for better fit and a twig-like pattern with crochet bobbles, which are done in mohair only.
Sample shows the mittens in size 2.

Sarma means hoarfrost in Latvian and the design has been inspired by wintry magic and the still, white and intricate beauty of hoarfrost as I remember it from my childhood back in Latvia. It’s my tiny love song to winter in wool.

Pattern has been fully tech edited and test knitted.
