In the second installment of the Nordic Mitten Club we are moving from the Norwegian Selbu Mittens Aslaug to the Swedish inspired colourwork mittens Lisabet. These are worked with sport-weight yarn held double - except for the lining of the cuff. This pattern comes with an option to make the mittens convertible, so you can lift off the cap of the thumbs and hands while still wearing the 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.
