Description ~ Norwegian Mittens

Learn the special details of Norwegian mitten construction by knitting a mitten in two colors, circularly on double pointed needles. Work a striped ribbing without the odd color bumps that usually show in ribbing, create seam stitches, the classic Norwegian thumb gusset, work different patterning for the front and palm, and the pointed tip shaping at the end of the mitten. Designing will be discussed.
