Estonian Knitting 3: Mittens

This is one of the largest and most amazing knitting books I have ever laid my hands on. Mittens in endless colorways and patterns, both simple and complex, adorn nearly every page, and come from every corner of the country. Learn about the centuries of history behind these 292 mittens. Many of the photographs are of older mittens which we can learn from and find inspiration. Each mitten is charted out with pattern details and instructions for shaping. Mittens from this part of the world are known by all serious knitters to be not only beautiful, but sturdy and functional, of historical necessity for Estonia's climate. Whether you knit or not, this is a beautiful book to to have and to show your friends.
