This is a mitten especially designed for my exhibition with garments in the Knitting Goes Medieval collection, in Allerum church in july 2011

(This pattern is also available in swedish)

A drapery painting from the partly preserved medieval murals in Allerum church in the province of Skåne, Sweden, inspired the corrugated rib and the wave patterned border on the mitten Allerum Draperi och Bladknippe.

The main motif of the mitten is a spiral border from the top of the drapery. The vaulted ceiling above is decorated with stylized vines and thin leaves in bunches, painted in black on the limewhashed surface. The mitten has such a bunch of leaves, knitted in intarsia with black yarn on the top side of the mitten.

Allerum Draperi och Bladknippe means drapery and bunch of leaves from Allerum in swedish.

Alternative yarns, if you can´t get the Kampes 2-ply wool yarn originally used for this design.
