Jarle Selbu Mittens

These are mittens in the Norwegian Selbu mitten tradition. They are knitted two-stranded in the round, with gusset for the thumb. All techniques are explained in the pattern with lots of photos.

Traditionally, Selbu mittens were made either black and white or sometimes red and either black or white, and the motifs often depicted things from nature or daily life.
