These mittens are traditional Norwegian Selbu mittens with a modern design. They are knitted in two colours in the round, and have a detailed lace pattern on the cuff. The thumb is worked with gusset, and the pattern inside the hand, continues seamlessly on the inside of the thumb. The pattern on the hand depicts two delicate snowflakes.

In the pattern, you will find both written pattern and photographic tutorials and explanations, and it has a section filled with tips for achieving the best result. The colourwork is charted.

The mittens are a standard women’s size.
