Incredibly practical yet charmingly detailed, the North House fingerless mitt will free up your fingers while keeping you cozy warm. Instructor Janine Kosel, co-author of Norwegian Handknits and Swedish Handknits has designed a North House motif for these Norwegian-style fingerless mitts. Students will use double pointed needles, learn chart reading and stranded knitting techniques. The design of these mitts incorporates motifs from North House, Grand Marais and Minnesota, creating a unique and useful knit good. Required knitting skills: casting on, knit, purl and binding off are necessary. Very helpful to understand knitting in the round, working with doublepointed needles and to have an understanding of chart reading. Materials fee includes needles and two skeins of yarn suitable for the project.
