Valborg is a slightly neater mitten that is knitted in broken rib which gives the mitten a comfortable and elastic fit.
The mitten has an Indian thumb and gusset and the cuff is double to warm the wrist properly

You start to knit a Latvian braid in in one color, the border from a chart and another Latvian braid.
You turn your work outside in and knit the lining in rib and then you continue to knit the rest of the mitten in broken rib.

This pattern contains:
Step for step written instructions
Chart for the cuff.
