This book was originally printed in 2012, but has been reprinted in 2014. It is available from multiple publishers in multiple languages, including the publisher Sena Klets, in Riga, Latvia.

An English version called Mittens of Latvia was published in 2015

A German version, called Handschuhe aus Lettland was published in September 2016

At the same time the Norwegian translation and the Japanese translation were published.

The pattern entries for this book in the Ravelry database contain the region of Latvia, the sub-region, and the page number of the chart. Even though this is non-standard for Ravelry, this is the only way to uniquely identify the many patterns in this book.

If you can not find the chart you are using already in the database, you can post a note in the Knit Like a Latvian group for help entering it. The general format is “region, sub-region, page ##” for the pattern name.
