The national treasure of Russia, the forests of the Komi Republic, are located in the northeast of our country, at the foot of the Ural Mountains. Winters in these parts are harsh, and it is from here, from a distant and cold land, that our mittens come from! On frosty days, nothing warms you like them – they keep the warmth of the hands of many generations of craftsmen. The mittens offered in this book are not only simple to make and beautiful, but they are always at the height of fashion thanks to their unique designs. More than 30 models of original mittens made with knitting needles with patterns of Komi peoples are accompanied by colorful schemes. Working with these schemes is easy and very exciting! If you haven't knitted mittens yet, we recommend that you take the basic course at the beginning of this book and practice on the balls of yarn you don't need. Having mastered the skill of knitting mittens, you can choose any pattern you like from the book and start creating!The image on the cover is decorative in nature and is provided for inspiration. The pattern of mittens from the cover is not included in the book.
