Autumn is upon us with full might, rainstorms and even the first snow, so it’s about time for more cozy knitting.

I am very happy to present to you the third set of pattern in my Norse series. After Jormungandr and Oden now please meet Frigg, Oden’s wife and goddess of wisdom, patron of motherhood and mother of Balder, god of poetry. Her long golden hair is praised in many stories. With simple details and gently winding braids this set of patterns shall represent her beauty and grace.

Frigg’s Mitts and Socks (click for pattern on Ravery)

I wanted to create something simple ut beautiful and I hope this meets your standards 🙂 I loved knitting up these two pairs. Especially in this horrible weather the sunny brightness of the Frigg’s Socks made me happy. I love how only the thumb shows off the pattern in the mitts and am definitely planning to make some warm winter mitts with the pattern soon!

The socks are made from Cascade Heritage Lemon (5644) and Gold Fusion (5723). For he mitts I used Cascade Sorata in Peridot (19).
