This pattern is based on the Lovikka Mitten originally designed in northern Sweden by Erika Aittamaa in 1892. It is knit with a chunky yarn then slightly fulled (felted) and brushed to bring out the wool’s natural halo. It is embellished with embroidery in three different color yarns, and a tassel is added to each scarf point.
