Folk Mittens offers mitten
patterns from around the world, presented in full-color graphs.
An introduction to folk knitting is followed by a generous section
on the techniques of knitting mittens. Among topics covered are
gauge, wool selection (including techniques for washing and felting
wool), casting on, plait edging, ribbed and unribbed cuffs, and
a long section on the ever-elusive thumb. The author also provides
techniques for hand-knit mitten cords, finishing and sizing.
