Sulla Gloves
From € 5,44
Behind their apparent simplicity, the Sulla gloves have a clever construction that makes for very well-fitting and comfortable gloves that truly “fit like a glove”! I paid particular attention to the little finger and thumb placement. This ingenious design, where the middle finger is the first finger to be knitted after the hand, will hopefully make them as comfortable to knit as they are to wear.
The pattern for the Sulla gloves can also be used as a blank canvas to add stripes, colorwork or embroidery, like the Flower of Life shown, a recurring pattern in Nordic visual art.
Yarn used: Ný Katla

Part of my Icelandic Yarn Club 6, and published in October, which is breast cancer awareness month, these mittens are dedicated to my mother-in-law, sometimes nicknamed Sulla. Like far too many other women, she has been battling breast cancer this past year. I will gift her the mittens for her birthday this December.
I had my Ný Katla yarn dyed specially in pink for the Club, and part of the profits went to Bleikan slaufan (the Pink Ribbon, symbol of cancer awareness) to support the Icelandic Cancer Society. Pink is also my mother-in-law´s favorite color.
I will also let you appreciate the symbolism behind the middle finger and the Flower of Life.
