Beaded Wrist Warmers from Lithuania
63 Knitting Patterns in the Baltic Tradition
Irena Felomena Juškienė
Wrist warmers are stylish and versatile accessories, fun to knit and easy to wear—and they have a long, rich history. In Lithuania, beaded wrist warmers are an essential part of the traditional folk costume, with their origins in practical necessity: keeping one’s sleeve cuffs securely closed against the Baltic weather. First simply an ordinary piece of outdoor clothing, wrist warmers gradually became more and more highly decorated, worked in bright colors, stripes, patterns, and—of course—with beads. Now, Irena Felomena Juškienė brings together a collection of striking traditional Lithuanian beading designs, turning these popular and comfortable accessories into genuine works of art!
