Yarnkit Shine mittens by Sofia Kammeborn

Description

This is Sofia´s words and details about her Shine mittens:

Only if we take care of ourselves, can we be kind to each other and the world. My mittens are called Shine to remind us that we can spread light to each other and let the world shine.

Shine is a mitten made in stranded knitting with Latvian braids on the cuff. I wanted to design a mitten inspired by traditional patterns. Mittens in these kinds of patterns used to be knitted on very thin needles. In that way they become durable and warm.
The pattern also looks better when tightly knit so that you can use more stitches.

Circumference: 20cm
Length: adjustable

(Of course you can adjust the size by using different yarn and needles.)

Needles: 2,0mm or needles to obtain gauge

I knit my mittens on double pointed
needles. Of course you can also use a
longer circular needle and the magic loop
method if you would prefer that.
