Hedda Half-Mitts are constructed the same as traditional Selbu mittens and gloves. They are designed with a women’s cuff and motifs of a goat horn rose, coffee beans and dancers (or goblins).

Many thanks to Anne Bardsgard for her book, Selbu Mittens, published by Trafalgar Square Books of North Pomfret, Vermont, USA.

Pattern requires the following skills: working in the round in small circumferences, increasing & decreasing, chart-reading, stranded knitting in two colors.
