Graph 96 - District of Kurzeme
The picture in the book (1997 edition) can be found on plate 11b.
One pattern repeat is 40 stitches and 40 rows.
Latvian mittens were knit originally on needles varying in size from 0-0000 (2-1.25 mm, 13-16 English). The yarn was usually a fine 2-ply homespun similar to an 8/2 weaving yarn or as fine as a “fingering yarn”. The pattern asks that you find your own gauge with your own needles and yarn and then adjust the graph based on a sizing chart at the back of the book.
The model was knit in red on a purple background, with yellow stars and Xs on the cuff.
