This pattern is inspired by the red, green, and white beaded wristwarmers made by Lithuanian knitters in the 19th century.
Once upon a time, in a yarn shop not far from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, I heard a knitter, a weaver, a shepherd, a dyer, a gardener, a fiber artist, and a spinner discussing the term terroir.
Riešinės have been popular in Lithuania for a long time, at least since the mid-19th century. They’ve had a recent surge in popularity due to the publication of a book of patterns by designer Irena Juškienės.
These make good gifts, for friends, loved ones, or as donations to homeless shelters or any place that collects warm woolies for those in needs.
