This pattern was inspired by the beautiful mittens posted on the Riga NATO Summit website. There are many features about it that are traditional, like the pointed top and the stranding patterns, but there are many that are not traditional, like the thumb gore and the narrower wrist.

The best place to get the pattern is my blog. But you can download a PDF of the chart using the Ravelry link. However, the image quality is not as good as that of the Excel spreadsheet linked on my blog.
