Fourth pattern in a series of 8, inspired by my Ukrainian heritage and in particular by my grandmother’s beautiful traditional cross stitch designs.

I have always loved Selbu mittens, but wanted to design something that was culturally closer to home and more personal to me. This series of mitten patterns are the result :)

These mittens are definitely not for beginners (unless you’re a masochist like me LOL!) - constructed in one piece, lined, with stranded colourwork and an additional thumb option. Full chart provided and basic mitten instructions.

You will need partial balls of each of 4 colours, and extra for the lining colour.
