Why mittens? They're small, the materials are affordable, you can complete a pair quickly, and they're fun to wear at any age! If you've ever knitted, you know the satisfaction that comes with creating both pattern and shape at the same time. Ethnic knitting is one way to expand your design repertoire while touching on the past, and each of these 42 brightly colored patterns is based on the rich knitting tradition of Russia's Komi people. At first glance they may seem complex, but look again and you'll see the clever, sophisticated use of simple symmetry to build these bold geometric patterns. Included are complete instructions and charts for 36 mittens, two socks, and two hats. 8 1/2 X 10. All in Color

The new, revised edition of Magnificent Mittens & Socks includes directions for working socks. Anna's toe-up, free-sole sock design works with all those beautiful color patterns: stranded patterning on the top of the foot and a reinforced sole. This practical approach avoids the inelasticity of most stranded, color-patterned socks and solves the problem of too much work for too little wear. Now your socks can be as magnificent as your mittens!

Clothing for the fingers receives special treatment in this collection of 48 mitten patterns from all over the world. In fact, 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. - Barbara Jacobs; 120p-
