In Favorite Mittens Robin Hansen has selected the best and most popular designs from her two classic books, Fox Geese & Fences and Flying Geese & Partridge Fee, perfecting the patterns and making her directions even easier to follow.

Elizabeth Upitis has included many models of Latvian mittens from the various regions of the Baltic state. The patterns are rich and decorative, with edgings of fringe or scallops and small patterns reminiscent of Fair Isle knitting. Even though you probably won't want to make as many mittens as a Latvian bride should need for her dowry, you will be inspired by the variety.
