Saami Mittens
The Saami are indigeonous European
people that live in the northernmost areas
of the Scandanavian countries. Beth will share with
us their lively mitten knitting tradition. We’ll spend 9 class hours on the project. Most knitters will find
that they are able to complete one mitten and make a start on the second mitten.
Learn the special details of mitten construction
of the nomadic Saami peoples, by
knitting a mitten in multiple colors, circularly on
double pointed needles. Make a three color braided
cast-on, create the classic afterthought thumb (without a gusset), work different
bands of patterning, and the
pointed tip shaping at the end of the mitten. Some
of the motifs will require three yarns to be
worked within one round. A simple finger braiding technique will be demonstrated for
the traditional cord. Handling multiple yarns and designing will be discussed.
Skill Level: Must be proficient with
double point needles, Magic Loop, or
working with two circulars. Stranded
color knitting experience helpful.
Supply List:
• For Adult Sized pair: 2 oz each of
4 colors of worsted weight yarn

Homework: NoneNorwegian Purl
The Norwegian Purl, a variation of the conventional Continental purl, is noted for its
superior tension control, and ease of
execution. The yarn always stays behind the work,
making ribbing a breeze and two-color textured knitting a pleasure. A
swatch will be knitted in class to practice this
technique and its applications:
Proper tensioning of the yarn, the conventional Continental
purl and knit stitches, the Norwegian purl, purl garter stitch,
ribbing with the Norwegian purl on the right side and on the wrong side, the
Scandinavian method of working with two yarns in the left
hand (knitting, purling, and weaving the floats) on the right
side and the wrong side of the work, as well as corrugated
ribbing on the right side and the wrong side of the work.
