Arm warmers and fingerless mitts are pretty awesome in my book.

When my aunt asked me to knit her a pair I knew Juniper Moon Farm Yarns Chadwick would be a great choice since it’s soft and cozy.

A simple Owl Cable at the wrist adds some pizzazz to an otherwise simple pattern.

A note about yarn quantity: Juniper Moon Farm Yarns Chadwick comes in generous 202 yard balls. If you knit the pattern as written you will use every inch of yarn and probably run out. In fact, I ran out and the left thumb is shorter than the right. Oops.
Unfortunately, you’ll just need a wee amount of the second ball to finish up. You can make a matching headband with the second ball. Or make a second, shorter pair. Or shorten this pair. Or ditch the fingers. You’re a clever knitter; you’ll figure something out. :-)
