The Azulejo Mittens combine the timeless beauty of Norwegian Selbu mittens with the intricate charm of Portuguese Azulejo tile patterns, creating a fusion of northern craftsmanship and southern artistry.

Knit in the round using the magic loop method, these mittens feature striking stranded colorwork that showcases a bold blue and white design inspired by the iconic ceramic tiles of Portugal.

Designed for any DK yarn, the sample mittens are knit using the durable and affordable Hayfield Bonus DK Acrylic, making them as practical as they are beautiful.
With a gauge of 28 stitches per 10 cm, the Azulejo Mittens deliver a snug and cozy fit perfect for keeping your hands warm in style.

This pattern celebrates the meeting of two rich cultural traditions, blending the structured elegance of Scandinavian knitting with the intricate artistry of southern European design. A delightful challenge for knitters who love colorwork, these mittens are a true testament to the beauty of blending styles and inspirations.
