The Spring Mittens Free Knitting Pattern is a heartfelt tribute to the rich textile heritage celebrated in the book Mittens of Latvia, drawing deeply from the intricate beauty and symbolism of traditional Latvian designs. The front of each mitten showcases a repeating daisy motif inspired by the floral charts found in the book, creating a fresh, lively look that feels both timeless and seasonally bright. In contrast, the palm features a distinct pattern influenced by classic Nordic motifs, blending two Northern European knitting traditions into one harmonious design. True to the silhouette of traditional Latvian mittens, the overall shape remains authentic and does not include modern thumb shaping, preserving the historical construction and giving the finished piece its characteristic straight, heritage feel. The mittens are worked from the bottom up on double-pointed needles (DPNs), allowing for seamless circular knitting and careful control of the colorwork throughout. For every row of flowers, knitters will work two rows of three-stranded colorwork, creating a richly layered fabric with depth, warmth, and striking visual texture. Classified as an intermediate pattern, Spring Mittens assumes familiarity with stranded knitting techniques, as well as foundational skills such as increases and decreases, which are not explained in detail. The abundance of colorwork makes this project both engaging and rewarding, resulting in a pair of mittens that celebrate tradition while offering a vibrant, handcrafted statement piece for the colder seasons.
