Knitting Pattern: Perhosia Mittens (by Minttu Wikberg)

Butterflies fly on the surface of the floral-patterned mittens. The placement of the thumb in the mittens is prepared traditionally using waste yarn.

The pattern for the Perhosia mittens was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Birger Kaipiainen knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Birger Kaipiainen’s iconic ceramic designs.
