Knitting Pattern: Auringonkukka Mittens (by Anna Johanna)

The various shapes of a sunflower can be viewed either from distance or from a close-up view. Include all colors into the colorwork knitting or add some of them later by duplicating stitches.

Short floats provide good protection against wind and frost while making it easier to put on the mittens.

The pattern for the Auringonkukka sweater was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Pihlgren and Ritola knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Pihlgren and Ritola's iconic wallpaper patterns.
