Pattern Description:

This fingerless glove is inspired by Norwegian knitting tradition. Pieces of the pattern can be found on Norwegian mittens, and others are designed especially for this particular glove. Piecing up patterns, rearranging them and adding your own special details, has been part of Norway's knitting culture for centuries. I am very proud to take part in this tradition.

I hope you enjoy knitting this fingerless glove as much as I enjoyed creating it.

If you study the pattern closely you will find that it resembles my favorite snack, the Norwegian waffle.
