Ultimate Mittens

Ultimate Mittens is a name perfect for this book, with it's 28 magnificent mitten patterns! This book is meant to carry on the tradition of folk mittens, passed down through the years. Author Robin Hansen says it best: "Mittens are hardly more than a swatch with a thumb. Their small format makes them ideal canvases for learning new techniques, playing with colors, or using fun techniques considered too laborious for larger garments". Projects in this book cover techniques including thrumming, two-color standing, texture and twined knitting. Some of the patterns are from Newfoundland and Norway as well as northeast New England and are from the simplest to the most complex patterns--something for everyone. So many mittens with so many looks, Ultimate Mittens is a great book to add to your library.
