The fourth mitten pair in the Nordic Mitten Club takes us to Scotland. This design is my take on the famous Sanquhar Gloves - but as mittens! They start with a typical Sanquhar cuff, featuring colourwork corrugated rib. For the hand of the mittens, a classic Sanquhar chart is worked with the construction you know from Norwegian Selbu Mittens.

I hope you will enjoy this pattern, and if you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact me in my Ravelry group ‘Skeindeer Knits’. It’s the best place for swift support.
