The final instalment of the Nordic Mitten Club takes us to Latvia. The Dimitri (which is not the Latvian spelling, but it’s how this Dimitri spelt his name) are made in Norwegian Rauma Finull, though I can highly recommend Latvian yarn for these. Thank you so much for taking part in the first Nordic Mitten Club. It’s been so much fun to explore different European knitting traditions!

I hope you will enjoy this pattern, and if you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact me in my Ravelry group ‘Skeindeer Knits’. It’s the best place for swift support.
