PeaceFleece KAL for Latvian Braid Fair Isle Mitts

4/10/2014

From today until May 15 I am offering the pattern for these mitts free to people participating in the Peace Fleece KAL on Ravelry.  For the duration of the KAL you can get your free pattern by leaving a comment with your e-mail address.  I'll send you the PDF attached to a return e-mail from me.

I am, as you can tell from reading through my blog, a very big fan of the Peacefleece yarn, the Peacefleece people, and the Peacefleece business ethos. 

I binge ordered every single color of their DK weight yarn in February.  I attribute this to 2014 being the longest, coldest, most color deprived winter since I returned to Maine in 2007.  It was beyond my ability to self regulate.  Fortunately since I am "in business" I can look at it as a wise inventory investment rather than the impulsive response to color deprivation that it actually was.  Also, my birthday is in February.   So there's that....

The colors in this Mitt are Sheplova, Father's Grey, Antarctica White, and Blue Jay.

The colors in this version are Olive Roots, Antarctica White, Blue Jay and Violet Vyecheerom.  You will need 1 oz of each of the main colors, and smaller amounts of each of the "trim" colors.  I recommend you choose a light, a bright, a dark and a contrasting.  In the mitts above the white is light, the dark is Father's Grey, the bright is Sheplova and the contrasting is Blue Jay. 

In the mitt directly to the left it is a little less clear cut.  The light is white, the dark is Olive Roots, the bright is Blue Jay and the contrasting is....Violet?  Which is really not that contrasting but it worked.  So that is why I give you a Recommendation rather than a Rule.  I would just purchase 4 colors that you really, really like.  Four of Peacefleece's 4 oz skeins will give you enough to make many, many mitts and you can mix the colors around every which way.

You'll need needles (I made these with double points) in size 1-3 depending on your knitting style...I knit loosely so I used 1s.
