Estonian Knitting 3. Mittens

For centuries Estonian knitters have created beauty using needle and yarn – everything that caught their eye found its way into patterns simple and elaborate, full of colour and magic. Knitted items are not, nor were they ever, only a way to keep the body warm, they protect and adorn, showing the care and skill of the maker.
This book brings knitters the many facets of the history of Estonian mittens from beautiful local mitten patterns to detailed knitting techniques. The book contains 292 mittens from every corner of Estonia with photos, charts and instructions as well as thorough experience-based guides on different techniques. A large number of original mittens have been recreated and are presented here in detail, we hope they will provide plentiful inspiration to the modern knitter and mitten wearer.
Estonian mitten knitting deserves to be preserved – learn how to knit Estonian mittens!
