Maja'S Swedish Mittens

Scandinavian-inspired designs for gorgeous hand-knit mittens. Maja Karlsson, Swedish knit designer and author of the popular Traditional Swedish Knitting Patterns, is back with over 30 patterns for mittens of all kinds--gusseted, cuffed, ribbed, flip-top, and more, plus a handful of half-gloves and wrist warmers--with unique designs rooted in distinctly Swedish stories, landscapes, and wildlife, to create the perfect collection for anyone looking to master the art of knitting Scandinavian mittens. Choose a beautifully intricate classic Swedish motif, or fun and fancy butterflies. Work in thick, cozy stranded knitting--or try your hand at lighter, lacier mittens in a single color. Follow easy-to-read hand-drawn charts, with gorgeous full-color photos of each pair for reference. Pick from among patterns suited for varying skill levels, with a section with tips and explanations included to help the less experienced find their way.
