Ostavind mittens

Introducing Vestavind, our beautifully crafted warm winter mittens, expertly knitted in a traditional Norwegian design that captures the essence of Scandinavian craftsmanship. These stunning mittens not only provide warmth but also add a touch of elegance to your winter wardrobe.

The showcased mittens are knitted using Sandnes Smart DK wool yarn, but if you're looking for alternatives, Cascade 220 is an excellent option. Feel free to select yarn and color suggestions from the pattern, or opt for any DK wool yarn and colors that inspire your creativity. Customization is encouraged, allowing you to make these mittens unique to your style!

For the best results, the suggested needle sizes in this pattern are just that—suggestions. To ensure a perfect fit, always check your gauge by knitting a sample swatch. If your swatch contains fewer stitches in 10 cm than the stated gauge, consider reducing the needle size. Conversely, if your swatch has more stitches, opt for a larger needle size. This will help you achieve the desired dimensions for your beautiful mittens.

Please note that this pattern is available in only one size. However, you can slightly adjust the size by going up half a needle size or down if you prefer a snugger fit. If you wish for a longer or shorter mitten, simply knit the body a bit longer or shorter before you begin the decreasing section—ensuring your mittens are tailored perfectly for you.

The approximate measurements for the mittens, when knitted using size 3 needles, are as follows: Full length of the mitten is 30 cm, cuff length is 9 cm, width measures 11 cm, and the thumb length is 7 cm.

Whether you’re making these mittens for yourself or as a thoughtful handmade gift, the Vestavind pattern is an excellent choice for knitters of all skill levels seeking a cozy winter project. Get started today, and enjoy the warmth and style of your very own Norwegian-inspired mittens!
