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. The eye-catching cuff showcases a "fake entrelac" design, providing an intricate look that is surprisingly easy to create—even for novice knitters.

This versatile pattern includes detailed instructions for knitting with double-pointed needles (dpns), along with the technique for placing stitches on hold for the thumb hole. While dpns are recommended, feel free to apply alternative knitting methods to suit your preference and skill level. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern offers a rewarding and enjoyable project.
