Latvian Traditional Mitten G-5
by Ieva Ozolina
For several centuries in Latvia mittens were the main form of gift and endowed with magical significance. Nowadays Latvian mittens, diverse in their colours and patterns are still an essential part of our winter clothing.
Every mitten has its own story, as every pattern knitted has its own meaning and brings with its own wish.
Most of these patterns have been derived from the Latvian tradition of deities and gods. Every deity and god had its own tasks and mission and it was represented by one or more symbols that characterised it.
