About this ebook
Developed by Russia's Komi people, these patterns were originally passed down visually from knit pieces, so they're easy to understand and knit. They only look complex! This updated version of Charlene Schurch's previous collection includes her original designs plus new versions of several mittens.
- Mittens are knit in the round and include a thumb gore for excellent fit
- Collection features patterns for 35 pairs of mittens plus four traditional hats
- Projects use stranded color work and include easy-to-follow color-coded charts

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This volume provides complete instructions for 36 mittens, two socks and two hats in the colourful geometric designs of the Komi people, an ethnic minority living in the northeast of European Russia. Each project is shown in colour and accompanied by charts and patterns.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Part of the charm of this knitting book is the author’s research of the Nomi people and their history of textile ornamentation. It is just a brief taste of their history, but it is a wonderful addition to the book.The introduction to the patterns contains a Basic Guidelines section, with an introduction of the yarn and needles used. There are several pages of instructions on how to use the charts and general mitten crafting. The actual patterns are only written in chart form, but that allows room for 35 beautiful and unique designs. There are also four knitted hat patterns, three caps and one Fez-style hat. The patterns are rated as intermediate to expert, but that may be due to learning the general shape along with yarn and needle management. If you can knit socks using the double pointed needles and can use more than one color yarn, these patterns should be no problem. I am going to start on Mitten 17, which is a two color pattern with a third color added in a duplicate stitch (embroidered in). I suspect it will be as addictive as sock knitting!
