Publisher's Note
Here is a hands-on history of mittens and those who use them for protection from the cold and heat, from Minnesota to Greenland to the island of Runo Runo. Among the topics covered are gauge (necessary for good looks and fit) and selecting wool -- the best mitten material because it insulates against both heat and cold, maintains resilience, and softens the hands of both knitter and wearer. Techniques discussed include casting on, plait edging, ribbed cuffs, and a long section on thumbs -- the most difficult part to construct. The author presents all patterns with graphs, using written instructions only when necessary.

Industry Reviews
Following a section on knitting techniques, including valuable information on the Eastern method of circular knitting and on working with double-pointed needles, Lewandowski launches into some 40 different projects for mittens based on the traditions of Europe, Asia, and North and South America. She includes full-color charts, graphs, and instructions, along with the history of each type of ethnic mitten. Although a beginning knitter could learn to knit mittens from this book, Robin Hansen's Sunny's Mittens (Down East, 1990) would be a better choice for those with no previous knitting experience. Highly recommended for all knitting collections.
Moore

Lewandowski attempted to find at least one representative pattern for every cold-weather region--and has, for the most part, succeeded (except for the Far East and northern Africa). Geography and history lessons are also in evidence; we learn about Scandinavian and northern islanders' occupations, hobbies, and peculiar knitting habits (the process of felting wool for additional warmth and the technique of tufting, among others). Plus, each of the four dozen designs, though not labeled by level of difficulty, includes graphs or charts and adequate text to follow and is accompanied by good color photographs. A handoff for intermediate and advanced knitters.
