Graph 30 - District of Zemgale
Latvian mittens were knit originally on needles varying in size from 0-0000 (2-1.25 mm, 13-16 English). The yarn was usually a fine 2-ply homespun similar to an 8/2 weaving yarn or as fine as a “fingering yarn”. The pattern asks that you find your own gauge with your own needles and yarn and then adjust the graph based on a sizing chart at the back of the book.
The model was knit in black, green, blue, red and white. A photo can be found on Plate 2f and the chart on page 54.
Instructions for making fringe are on pages 23 and 40.
