Description

Beaded wrist warmers are a cherished part of Lithuanian traditional costume, and their origins are as fascinating as they are beautiful. Irena Felomena Juškien's journey to explore these knitted accessories took her to the heart of regional history and culture in Lithuania. This collection brings together over 60 designs, each with its own unique story, presented with clear instructions and full-color photographs. The wrist warmers are organized by their place of origin, spanning centuries and multiple museum collections. Alongside the patterns, readers will find thoroughly researched discussions of the origins of wrist warmers in each region, as well as a catalog of further historical examples of the craft. Local contributors share their personal accounts, adding depth and insight to the project. With straightforward instructions and easy-to-follow charts, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in traditional crafts and the rich cultural heritage of Lithuania.
