Norwegian rose mittens reimagined in an unexpected palette of brown, black, and pink, completed with decorative Latvian braided cuffs ♡ Easy construction and thumb gusset ☺ Pattern for three sizes: S - M - L. Circumference: Approx. 20 cm (S) - 21,5 cm (M) - 23 cm (L) Length: Approx. 24 cm Based on knitting gauge 26 sts/ 10 cm ★ In the old days of the North, star motifs were symbols of life, warmth and protection. Stars and roses were lovingly knitted into wool mittens to guard against the cold and the unknown. Stars adorned the winter mittens of loved ones, as winter was seen as the year’s night - a time when darkness and the unknown felt closest. The star could also symbolize a double cross. The rose, in addition to being a love symbol, was also a symbol of Christ. Happy knitting! ♡Katrine
