Dive into the rich tradition of Norwegian knitting with this Knitting Selbu Mitten Class. In this hands-on class, you'll learn the skills needed to create the classic Selbu mittens, beloved for their beautiful patterns and cozy warmth.

We'll be working with the Overik pattern by Skeindeer Knits, which captures the essence of traditional Selbu mittens but with a finer yarn. Whether you're an intermediate knitter wanting to expand your skills or an experienced knitter eager to dive deeper into this craft, this workshop will guide you every step of the way. You'll explore the history behind these timeless designs, learn how to read and follow Selbu patterns, and build your proficiency in stranded colorwork knitting.
