Kärlek Mittens Knitting Kit – ENG + SWE

kr295.00

Knitting pattern to create your own folk inspired Kärlek mittens!

The mittens have a textured cuff knitted in a moss-stitch-pattern, a shaped Scandinavian thumb gusset and pointy top knitted in a 2 colour pattern.

The Kärlek pattern was designed by Elmina Fors in the summer of 2023 with inspiration from all the hearts depicted in folk art. Especially here the Ring of Love (Kärlek) from Tornedalens Hantverk; a ring in pewter, silver or later gold that in its many forms has been used in northern Sweden as an engagement ring worn by the woman.

Observe: Please choose which colourway you want: Bright red / cream or Silver / charcoal. This kit includes yarn and pattern. Please contact elmina.fors@gmail.com if you would like some double pointed needles suitable for the pattern.

Techniques in the pattern

Cast on with 2 colours, 2 colour stranded knitting, knit & purl stitches, yarn over and twisted stitches, knit 2 together with a left – and right-leaning direction.

Washing / Finishing

When you have knitted the mittens and attached all the threads, wash with a little wool detergent in cool water, rinse and squeeze out of the water. In order for the mitt to get the right shape – use a mitt blocker or shape the mitt by hand when it is wet. Allow to air dry. Information about this can be found in the printed knitting pattern.
