Beaded Wrist Warmers from Lithuania

Beaded wrist warmers are a beloved part of Lithuanian traditional costume, discovered by Irena Felomena Juškienė, a member of a group dedicated to classic Lithuanian dance and music. She discovered their fascinating role in regional history and culture. Irena has collected over 60 beaded knitting patterns from centuries, dialects, and museum collections, organized by place of origin within Lithuania's borders. The book includes instructions, charts, full-color photographs, and detailed discussions of the origins of wrist warmers in each region. It also includes a catalog of historical examples and personal accounts from local contributors.
