About this pattern
Kuura (Finnish word for frost) mittens are a fun and quick project that is worked with worsted weight yarn. The colorwork section of the mittens is easily memorized and suitable for both beginners and more experienced knitters. The mittens have a simple ribbed cuff and an arched thumb.
The simple small colorwork sections on the top of the mitten are the perfect way to use up those precious leftover yarns. Choose two colors with a rather large contrast to best show the colorwork design on the mitten - or use two colors close to each other to create a fading effect.
Yarn Main color (MC): Cascade 220, 100% Peruvian wool (approx. 200m/220yds = 100g)
Contrast color (CC): Jalovilla Pässi or other worsted weight (approx. 200m/220yds = 100g yarn)

Kuura lapaset on nopea, paksusta langasta valmistuva projekti, joka sopii myös aloitteleville kirjoneulojille. Lapaset neulotaan worsted- vahvuisesta langasta, eli esimerkiksi Novitan 7 Veljestä, Dropsin Lima, Cascade 220 tai Istexin Lettlopi sopivat lapasiin oikein hyvin. Tarkista neuletiheytesi ennen aloittamista.
Lapasiin neulotaan intialainen peukalokiila, ja sen viimeistelee kirjoneulekuvion kautta kärkeen vaihtuva väri. Lapasen ja peukalon pituus on säädettävissä sopivaksi, ja puikkokokoa vaihtamalla lapaset voi neuloa myös pienempään käteen.
Lanka Pääväri: Cascade 220 (n. 200m = 100g) tai vastaava worsted- vahvuinen lanka
Kuvioväri: Jalovilla Pässi (n. 230m/100g) tai vastaava worsted-vahvuinen lanka
Puikot 4,0 mm sukkapuikot (tai pitkät pyöröpuikot, mikäli neulot magi
