These stranded colourwork mittens with foldover cuffs feature stitch patterns inspired by colourwork traditions from Norway, Estonia and Latvia. 

The tops are completed with rounded shaping in a star or snowflake design inspired by the tops of Fair Isle tams. A miniature version is worked on the thumbs. The repetitive pattern used for the majority of the mittens is easy to keep track of without paying attention to the chart so they work up relatively quickly.

Skills Required:

Must know how to cast on, knit, purl, bind off, work ribbing, and work small circumferences in the round (using preferred method - magic loop, DPNs, or small circulars). Familiarity with basic increases and decreases and stranded colorwork is also recommended.

Homework:
