Description
Knitting pattern for Gaby Mittens
The Gaby Mittens are inspired by Norwegian mitten traditions and are adorned on the back of the hand with two eight-petal roses, as well as a palm pattern that also extends onto the upper side of the mitten. The mitten is knitted in two colors, giving you the opportunity to play with calm, subdued shades or two colors with stronger contrast. The pattern creates an elegant, Nordic look that fits perfectly into a winter wardrobe.
The mittens are knitted in our ultra-soft and luxurious Önling No 1, a yarn spun from the finest qualities, which makes your knitwear both exclusive and comfortable to wear. Thanks to the yarn’s lightness and warmth, the Gaby Mittens are ideal for the cold months, when you need something warm yet still lightweight. Bonus: With just 2 balls of Önling No 1, you can knit 2 pairs of mittens in the small size if you swap the main color and the pattern color.
The Gaby Mittens are a must-have for anyone who loves Nordic knitting traditions with a contemporary twist – or for those who want to spoil a friend or family member with a handmade gift filled with warmth and thoughtfulness.

Procedure
The mittens are worked in the round, starting from the wrist and worked toward the fingers. They are knitted using the magic loop method, but can of course be knitted on double-pointed needles if preferred. Begin with a ribbed cuff. Then continue following the chart across the hand, placing stitches for the thumb and knitting the thumb gusset. After finishing the thumb gusset, the stitches for the thumb are placed on hold, while the rest of the mitten is worked following the chart up to the top of the mitten. Slip the thumb stitches onto a needle, pick up and knit additional stitches around the opening, and finish working the thumb.
