Nordavind mittens
Introducing the Nordavind warm winter mittens, beautifully knitted in a traditional Norwegian design that will keep your hands cozy and stylish during the cold months. These mittens are not only functional, but they also showcase unique craftsmanship that reflects Scandinavian heritage.
The stunning mittens in the picture are crafted using Dale Lanolin DK wool yarn, renowned for its softness and warmth. However, if you're looking for alternatives, Cascade 220 is an excellent choice that will yield similar results. Feel free to explore the yarn and color options suggested in the pattern, or select your favorite DK wool yarn and colors to truly personalize your project.
The needle sizes referenced in this pattern are intended as suggestions to help you achieve the best results. Remember to check the gauge by creating a sample swatch. If your swatch shows fewer stitches in 10 cm than the specified gauge, consider reducing your needle size. Conversely, if there are more stitches than indicated, you should increase your needle size for the perfect fit.
Please note that this pattern is designed in one size; however, minor adjustments can be made by selecting a needle size that is half a size larger or smaller. Additionally, if you prefer a longer or shorter mitten, you can adjust the length by simply knitting more or fewer rows before beginning the decrease section.
For your reference, when using size 3 needles, the measurements of the finished mittens are as follows: Full length: 30 cm, cuff length: 9 cm, width: 11 cm, and thumb length: 7 cm. These mittens not only make a great addition to your winter wardrobe but also serve as a thoughtful gift for loved ones. Dive into your knitting adventure with the charming Nordavind mittens pattern and embrace the warmth and joy of handmade accessories!
