"Plenteous Year" Wrist Warmers

Fields full of crops…

This pattern is a part of the cycle “Tripillia” and it refers to the heritage of a big ancient civilization Cucuten-Tripillia which was located in Southeastern Europe including the territory of modern Ukraine. For communication, they used logographs (written characters that represent a semantic component of a language, such as a word). Logographs were also used in decorative arts.

The pattern of these wrist warmers has a logograph that means “field with crop”. A rhomb means a field, and each square means grain. The main specialization of Tripillia people was agriculture, so logographs related to fields and crops were very common.

These wrist warmers are knitted bottom-up in the round, with thin bands of seed stitch from both bottom and top. The body of the wrist warmers is decorated with stranded colorwork. The pattern is offered in two sizes, with clear, complete instructions as well as links to captioned videos.
