♥ super-easy pattern that lets your artistry shine ♥

Inner Wild Stag Antler Warmers are easy to knit using less than 50g of any chunky yarn on a pair of 6mm / US10 needles. Or hold DK and fingering yarns together.

You’ll also need several lengths of thick and think hand-spun wool or other trimming such as ribbon or torn fabric.

Inner Wild Stag Antler Warmers are ideal for using up left-over yarns from your stash. Combine fingering yarns or double up DK, use that gorgeous sari ribbon you’ve been saving to trim …

… Go woodland faerie or steampunk, Zen or Austen, Scandi or flouncy - any look you love. The pattern shows how I made the very first pair of INNER WILD Stag Antler Warmers from which all other versions are based and shows you how to customise.

The original Stag Antler Warmers were knitted with hand-spun, hand-dyed pure wool trim on wool mix yarn in the colours of a young red deer’s antlers: bark brown against ivory bone and pale pinkish bark.

I made them to be all raggedy and yet structured like a stag antler which is one of my favourite things.

They are snug-fitting around the wrist and widen gently to your fingers which gives a lovely line to wrist and hand.

I’ve left the hand-spun yarn to hang loose and raw like the bits of leaves and sheep wool that stags get on their antlers or bits of velvet moulting off.

The deer antler I’m holding in the photograph is vintage and was a gift from my cousin. It came from the Outer Hebrides where red deer run free and happily jump fences. It has inspired me to create the same colour and texture in fibre.

This is how Inner Wild Stag Antler Warmers came into being. I hope this pattern inspires you to make your own kind of wild fingerless gloves x
