Lauf

This pattern is available from icelandicknitter.com for €6.00.

Traditional mittens from the West fjords of Iceland inspired Hélène Magnússon this lovely and colorful top. The band with Leaf motifs at the bottom gave their nam to the mittens: “laufaviðarvettlingar”, “Leaf mittens”. Because it’s never that warn in Iceland during summer days, the top is knitted with wool but cotton, linen or a blend with silk would knit beautifully as well!
