Gorodets

This stunning knitting pattern is inspired by the rich tradition of Russian folk art known as Gorodets. Known for its vibrant colors and intricate designs, Gorodets art typically features a striking black horse, vivid primary colors for the flowers, and a soft beige to white background. While these authentic colors provide a beautiful homage to the original style, feel free to experiment with your own color palette to create a personalized twist on this charming pattern. The final image in our collection showcases various interpretations of the Gorodets pattern, highlighting how versatile it can be in non-traditional shades.
In the accompanying PDF, you'll find numerous pictures, including an additional variant featuring a slightly altered pattern on the top of the mittens, allowing for even more creative expression. Our heartfelt thanks go to Mabe58 and Mitt for their exceptional test-knitting work; their contributions truly bring the authentic spirit of Gorodets to life in their beautifully crafted mittens!
