How to knit norwegian selbu mittens | step by step tutorial, free pattern download, gift

[@bejai1962]

I want to learn to knit this style of mitten so I’m glad I found you. I’ve looked over several written patterns and had trouble following. Hopefully this will do the trick.

[@elinsDIY]

Sometimes the patterns can be a bit confusing😅 I really hope the video will help!

I love using Nepal. Haven’t tried Alaska yet. I tried making these by following a written pattern once. The palm side was salt and pepper style but I couldn’t understand the shaping instructions using two colours. This seems easier as I’m a visual learner. And that scenery is so picturesque!

[@elinsDIY]

I really like Nepal too, they feel quite similar. And I also prefer someone showing how to do something rather than just reading a pattern😅

[@Ashayla13]

I watch your videos while i knit. So relaxing. 😊🤗😄

[@elinsDIY]

Aw thank you so much! Made me smile🥰

I did a Shelbu mitts and the decreasing with the all around white outline had me stumped to avoid a crooked white outline at the decreasing top. Your video is good. Thank you

[@elinsDIY]

Thank you so much! Glad to hear😊

Great tutorial! Finished knitting my first mitten and now i'm addicted - how do you size up this pattern for bigger hands?

[@elinsDIY]

Thank you! Yayy, it can be very addicting for sure😂👏🏻 To size up I would either cast on a few more stiches, perhaps 6 more and try adjust the pattern, make some space on either side of the «star» and knit it longer. Or here is a similar pattern with bigger sizes: www.garnstudio.com/pattern.php?id=11577&cid=17

Seeing "you" knit like this, and "playing" with the snow, I will give "eggs" to the nuns so they can pray for a snowy winter for meh! tfs

Hope you get some snow!! ❄️

Can beginners do this? you are amazing that can do this in a few days. If someome gifted me these mittens I would be so happy. They seem to be amazing gifts.

[@elinsDIY]

@@mentalalchemysubliminals thank you! ❤️ Maybe a little challenging if you have never knitted with two colors, but it should doable for a beginner! Or you could knit them first without the colorwork:)

[@Malin-br2sl]

Så fine 🥰

[@elinsDIY]

Tusen takk🥰

[@danettecross8608]

Thank you for a great video. Showing the progress on the chart was very helpful. I have done Fair Isle and strand colorwork, but never a Scandanavian mitten, so this really helped!

[@elinsDIY]

Thank you so much for the feedback! 🫶🏻

[@govidgordana2293]

Hi great video, can this be knitted using magic loop method?

[@elinsDIY]

Hi, thank you! Yep you can use the magic loop method👌🏻

[@govidgordana2293]

@@elinsDIY thank you, happy knitting 🧶🎄💕

[@elinsDIY]

@@govidgordana2293 Happy knitting and Merry Christmas✨💕

[@moi981]

What do i do when i forgot to twist the pink yarn?

[@elinsDIY]

Usually it’s fine if you forget to twist the yarn as long as you don’t pull it too tight. It might be possible to twist the yarn on the round after, to secure it a little so you don’t have a big loop hanging in there. Hope that helped!

[@lissablue176]

I would like to do a knit a long with a few or many.? Any interested?😮

[@cottagekeeper1044]

Yes, I’ve never done color work before. The mittens are so beautiful I would love to try.

Help...i was knitting the brown cardigan from your tutorial, and now the video is hidden....how shall i finish it?

[@elinsDIY]

@@Cherylcoder sorry! I will make it public again!

[@Cherylcoder]

@@elinsDIY thank you so much Elin! Also my avocado buttons are drying nicely. I really enjoy your videos

[@elinsDIY]

@@Cherylcoder ohh thank you so much!! 🥰

[@elinsDIY]

@@Cherylcoder and sorry that I had taken the cardigan video down, I wasn’t quite happy with it, and tought most people had stopped watching/needing it🙈

[@emmalien8094]

jeg bare lurte på hvordan du strikker med ny farge uten at vrangmaskene blir «stygge» med tanke på at fsrgen på en måte titter frem om det gir mening

[@danielmardim5866]

I think that you used big needles... Usually these mittens are made with needle sizes 3-3.5 mm. Of couse with smaller size yarn as well

[@elinsDIY]

Hi! That’s true, but this is a different pattern made for this type of yarn and thickness😄

[@KaySkywalker]

It depends on preference for a large mitt using 3.75 or depending on the yarn thickness I have used size 4 My hands arent small and it feels snug using 3.5. Its preference. There is no wrong size to really use.
