Over Thanksgiving the NorDak Purl Girl requested a pair of mittens for the cold winter ahead. I had her look through the mitten book, Votteboka, I'd bought while in Iceland and she found these lovely mitts...
They are called Nursery Mittens and have a sweet little story behind them.
“One day the windows in the nursery were covered with ice roses the children had cut from paper. The white roses stood beautifully with the blue winter sky behind, and so the idea of the mittens was conceived.”
After translating the story the only color they could be knit in was blue and white, right?
Pattern: Isrosen from Votteboka
Yarn: Rauma Finullgarn
Colorway: 400 White and 4505 Blue
Needle Size: US Size 1
More and more I'm enjoying smaller items to knit. I love the intricacy of the Norwegian mittens and wish they were used as much as socks I knit!
