Knitting pattern for kids mittens inspired by Norwegian knitting traditions.
The Preschool Selbu Mittens are made to be worn by active kids! The mittens have an extra long cuff that narrows towards the wrist, so that they cover any gaps in the layers that children need for outdoor playing in the wintertime.
When knitted in non-superwash wool, the mittens will felt a bit as they are worn, and this makes them more wind resistant.
Sizes: This mitten pattern comes with two sets of charts, one for toddler mittens and one for the older preschoolers (4-6 years).
Gauge: 22 stitches per 10 cm
Yarn Suggestions: Use a DK weight non-superwash wool for maximum warmth, such as Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt or Filcolana Peruvian.
