These mittens are a traditional Latvian pattern found in Maruta Grasmane's book "Mittens of Latvia". I am obsessed with Latvian knitting motifs and just had to try this complicated pattern. It has been my most ambitious project to date.

At one point I was dealing with 6 different colors of yarn on my needles (all those strands to keep untangled!). I'm quite proud of them and wore them many times over the winter. :)

Edit: In case you are intimidated by knitting, this is the first awful pair of mittens I ever knit. Look at how they don't even match! It took patience and a lot of practice but I progressed and so can you!

One on the left: One size "fits" all.

Seriously. I call it "the alien mitt".
