Latvian mittens have been a part of Latvian culture and tradition for centuries. They are beautiful, intricate pieces of art that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also carry a great deal of significance in the form of history, symbolism, and regional identity.

Ieza Ozolina’s book, Knit Like a Latvian, is a lovely guide for learning about Latvian mittens and creating this meaningful work of art. Not only can you learn how to knit Latvian mittens, Ieza also shares the fascinating stories behind these pieces of beautiful, handmade art. 

There are 50 different styles to choose from including simpler variations of the mittens such as fingerless gloves and wrist warmers. So, even if you are an inexperienced knitter you can create a beautiful traditional design. Knitted mittens have always played an important role in traditional Latvian culture: girls are taught to knit at a young age and it is traditional for brides to give mittens as a gift to guests on their wedding day. This collection captures the essence of these stunning folk patterns and shows how you can mix these traditional designs with your contemporary wardrobe.
