Using four different colors of fingering weight yarn, the knitter will need to combine all four in a row. Decreases are staggered to incorporate the design. Jukkasjärvi mittens come in two sizes: women's small / medium, and women's medium / large. A braid and tassel finish off this northern beauty.</image:caption>

It is knit from ribbed cuffs to the mitten tip using five different colors of fingering weight yarn and mimics the popular, Swedish 'rosengang' woven fabric. This pattern has been in the Arjeplog area since the 1860s, and was soon translated to knitting. The knitter will need to use up to three colors at a time. Directions are charted.</image:caption>

I created this false entrelac mitten based on a museum-owned piece purchased in 1925 from Jukkasjärvi by Stockholm's Nordiska museet. Braids and tassels finish off this northern beauty.</image:caption>

The knitter will need six different shades of fingering weight yarn, plus a couple yards of a seventh. Besides common colorwork techniques, the knitter will need to know how to incorporate long floats and duplicate stitch. One row only uses three colors together. Braids and tassels finish off this northern beauty.</image:caption>

This mitten pattern is common in Karesuando, Sweden, where he was originally from. Four colors of dk weight yarn combine in small, fun, geometric designs to make a warm mitten.
