Fossilised ferns mitts

Fossilised ferns mitts are fun to make and fun to wear, and perfect for those autumn (or spring) days when there's a little nip in the air. The pattern is sized to fit a woman's medium hand. Unstretched, the mitts measure 6.5" around the palm, just above the thumb, to fit a hand approximately 7 to 8 inches around.

The texture is made using knits and purls and twisted stitches. You may wish to use a cable needle, but the twisted stitches are easy to work without one.

Knit the pair from less than one skein of sock yarn, or use a large skein (150g or so) and make the matching Fossilised Ferns scarf as well.
