Estonia has many wonderful mittens, and gloves, with unique techniques for construction and surface design. These mittens can be worked as fingerless mitts if preferred, and feature Diagonal Ribbing with a special increase technique, afterthought thumb, and Vikkel Braid. For finishing the fingerless mitts, striped garter stitch is used, while the mittens are finished with the classic pointed-tip. This pattern can be knitted in sport weight for a light-weight mitt or DK weight yarn for a denser, warmer mitten (or vice versa).
