New book! Knit Like a Latvian by Ieva Ozolina

Known for their intricate details and beautiful color work, Latvian mittens are truly functional pieces of art. In her new book, Knit Like A Latvian, Latvian knitter Ieva Ozolina shares the story behind these traditional patterns as well as giving you the blueprints and techniques needed to start knitting your own collection of colorful, cherished mittens. (Believe me, once you see these designs you’re going to want one in every pattern!)

Knit Like A Latvian is more than just a pattern book. Ozolina takes you through every step of the way, from choosing the right materials to knowing the basic mitten blueprint. The author finishes the book with a fully stocked section on mitten knitting techniques, complete with detailed illustrations and all the tips you’ll ever need to make the perfect pair of mittens. A guide to the meanings behind some of the more commonly used symbols gives you a starting point for coming up with your own colorful patterns – but the book also includes plenty of stunning designs conveniently charted out for you. Check out some of these cute wristers, fingerless mitts and mittens below!

All of the mittens in Knit Like A Latvian were made from 2-ply 100% wool, such as our Victorian 2-Ply Wool Yarn. Ozolina also states that double pointed needles, specifically super skinny metal ones, are a must for this type of project. Don’t worry! We have those, too:
