Randi Selbu Mittens
Discover the beauty of traditional craftsmanship with these stunning mittens, knit according to the authentic Norwegian Selbu tradition. This design features a modern twist on the classic cuff, making it not only a cozy accessory but also a stylish statement piece. The hand is expertly knitted in the round using a two-stranded technique, complete with a gusseted thumb for enhanced mobility and comfort.
