Magda votten har en lengre historie med flere elementer. Det hele startet med at vår gamle bil når jeg var lita var en grønn Mazda som vi kalte Magda. Den dagen min far kjøpte en ny bil så nektet jeg å sitte i den bilen for jeg ville ha den gamle Magda, selv om den nye også var en Mazda som vi kalte Magda 2.
Spol fremover noen år og jeg kjøpte meg noen hesper Gammelnorsk Spælsau garn fra Fagermyr Gård på Oppdal. Den ene fargen jeg kjøpte het Magda, oppkalt etter sauen som ulla kom fra.
Jeg viste at jeg måtte lage meg Magda votter, og dermed ble dette mønsteret til.

Det er bare en størrelse i mønsteret og den tilsvarer medium voksen dame. Gå opp en størrelse eller to i pinner og garn så vil de nok også kunne passe til større hender, og motsatt til mindre.

Du trenger mellom 25-30g i hver farge til ett par votter, så dette er en god mulighet til å bli kvitt endel rester.

The Magda mittens has a longer history with several elements behind them. It all started with the car we had when I was a kid. It was an old, green Mazda we called Magda. The day my father bought a new car, I refused to sit in it because I just wanted the old Magda, even though this was also a Mazda that we called Magda 2.
Jumping ahead several years where I bought myself a few skeins with Gammelnorsk Spælsau yarn from Fagermyr Gård here in Oppdal. One of the colours I bought was called Magda, after the sheep the wool came from.
I knew that I had to make myself some special Magda mittens, and that’s how these were made.

There’s only one size in the pattern and it’s medium adult female. You can easily go up a needle size or two and also use thicker yarn for bigger hands, or go down to get smaller.

You will need between 25-30g in each colour for one pair, so here’s your chance to bust your stash and get rid of some scraps.
