Lovikkavante ('Lovikka Mitten') is a noted Swedish glove or mitten originating from the village of Lovikka [sv], in the district of Junosuando by Torne (Finnish and Swedish river) in Pajala Municipality, Norrbotten in Northern Sweden. It is a knitted wool mitten manufactured and designed in accordance with the pattern established by its creator Erika Aittamaa in 1892, especially designed for the cold climate of Northern Sweden.[1][2] The village of Lovikka has a small museum dedicated to the history and design of the mittens.[3]
