The design is also available as a yarn kit by fraukuhn.

Ammochostou is a modern unisex design using basic techniques and intelligent shaping to create well-fitting mittens. It is a quick project to make and is ideal for using up stash and/or yarn leftovers.

Instructions are given in written abbreviated form.

Ammochostou (Αμμοχώστου) is a residential street in the city of Patras. It is located above the Marina, where small boats and yachts park. I have spent a considerable amount of my childhood playing and roaming around in this area.
