Icelandic Mittens: 25 Traditional Patterns Reimagined Hardcover, by Guðrún Hannele Henttinen
Gorgeous contemporary reconstructions and reinterpretations of the rich knitting traditions of Iceland. The Textile Museum in Blönduós in northern Iceland houses a unique and fascinating collection of handknit Icelandic mittens, dating back centuries. Now, Guðrun Hannele Hentinnen, an expert with a degree in textile studies―and the owner of a yarn shop located in Reykjavík―has reconstructed patterns and charts based on those historical examples, and breathed new life into a stunning selection of mittens and gloves for the modern knitter.
The book emphasizes the variety of stranded colour patterns and many different techniques so that all knitters can find a pair to knit at their desired level of complexity.
The author, Guðrún Hannele Henttinen, has a degree in textile teaching and has taught knitting for many years. For more than a decade she has also been the owner of Storkurinn, a yarn shop in Reykjavík.
Beautiful, warm, wearable mittens and gloves in a variety of colors and styles
