Grandma’s Selbu mittens is a knitting pattern based on the Selbu mittens that my mother knits for toddlers, which again are based on the Sonja mitten.
The pattern is inspired by old Norwegian knitting traditions for stranded colorwork, and it is a great project for using up scrap yarn.
The pattern is also included in the e-book Children’s Christmas Knits.
Size: 1-3 years. The pattern has one chart for each hand, and you can alter the size by changing your gauge.
Gauge: 28-24 stitches per 10 cm, depending on size.
Suggested yarn:
Use your favourite warm yarn that gives you the right gauge for your chosen size!
Some suggestions include:
- Dale Soft Merino (1-2 years)
- Filcolana Saga (1-2 years)
- Rauma Finull (2-3 years)
