Overik
Like Sildra, Overik features numerous characteristics that are common to the more archetypical Selbu mitten, but with finer yarn for more detail. Fun fact: traditionally, Selbu mittens with stranded colourwork cuffs were for men only, and lace cuffs were only to be worn by women. However, the striped cuffs could be worn by all.
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. Happy knitting!
