Knitting Fair Isle Mittens & Gloves: 40 Great-Looking Designs

Ebook Download | Knitting Fair Isle Mittens & Gloves: 40 Great-Looking Designs | I am a compulsive mitten knitter and I totally love this book. The colors and yarns used in the projects are traditional - in fact the mittens and gloves featured in the book were collected by the author in the Shetland Islands. The beginning of the book includes a brief history of Fair Isle kitting, along with some instruction on special techniques that are used by Shetland Island knitters. If you are the least bit interested in traditional knitting techniques, you'll be very happy with Knitting Fair Isle Mittens & Gloves.

The photographs show the palm and the back of the hand for each pair, so you can easily compare them to adjacent charts. I would definitely recommend this book. It includes basic patterns for gloves and mittens for women and children, with charts in many styles and colors. And there's a bonus lace glove pattern in the back. My favorite projects are the fingerless gloves, which provide an easy way for mitten knitters to ease into glove knitting. Not to mention that fingerless gloves are incredibly popular right now, so there are a slew of ideas for gifts to knit.
