Kjaerlighetsvotter

Kjærlighetsvotter, which translates to “Lover’s Mittens” in Norwegian, offers a unique knitting experience that captures the romantic spirit of couples wishing to cozy up in style. These enchanting mittens are inspired by traditional Selbuvotter, renowned for their striking rose and snowflake patterns. Originating from Selbu, Norway—just a short drive from Trondheim—Selbuvotter showcases the rich heritage of Norwegian knitting, where mittens were traditionally crafted using natural black and white wool. However, today’s modern knitters often infuse vibrant colors into their creations, adding a personal touch to these beloved accessories.

These Kjærlighetsvotter are not only beautiful but also serve a meaningful purpose. The unique pattern set includes a special lover’s mitten designed for couples who wish to hold hands while keeping warm. Additionally, the pattern set features corresponding men's and women's mittens. While creating an entire set of five mittens, which includes a pair of each for both men and women alongside the lover’s mitten, is entirely optional, please keep in mind that the yardage provided is specifically for the set of three mittens.

Embrace the allure of traditional Norwegian knitting techniques with these mittens. The stranded colorwork is carefully knitted at a tight gauge, ensuring that your hands stay warm and snug during chilly seasons. Whether you're preparing for a festive occasion, such as a wedding or simply looking to gift a special couple in your life, these Kjærlighetsvotter are a perfect way to celebrate love and craftsmanship. Start your knitting adventure today and create these beautiful mittens that embody both warmth and romance!
