Inspired by the design elements of a Selbu mitten, this scarf has a detailed traditional pattern on the front (as you would find on the top of the hand), a simpler traditional pattern on the back (as you would find on the palm of the hand) and a 3-stitch band on each side. It is knit in the round using the fair isle/stranded knitting technique, and the two sides are grafted together at each end.
