Starri, Grýla Collection
Traditional mittens & Colors of Iceland
Many different types of mittens can be found in Iceland. Some were clearly inspired by the well-known Selbu mittens and knitted with fine handspun Icelandic wool. My Starri mittens are a modern interpretation of this type of mittens. Instead of the more usual geometrical or stylised motifs, they are decorated with a lively starling bird eating berries in a rowan tree, a typical sight in the gardens of Reykjavík city during the autumn. The Starri mittens are knitted in the round in stranded knitting, with a lovely lace cuff. The oblong tip, shaped with symmetrical decreases, makes for a snug fit around the fingers, a common feature in Icelandic mittens as opposed to the Norwegian mittens. The red berries and a few details in the bird are embroidered afterwards.
You can achieve more sizes by changing needle size (2,25 to 3,25 mm / US 1 to 3 are suitable sizes). According gauge is correct, you will achieve size M with 3 mm/ US 2,5 needle and size S with 2,5 mm/ US 1,5
The pattern includes step by step pictorial tutorials for special techniques and for embroidery.
