Cedar Shakes have it all - lace, twisted stitches and ribbing. It stretches and contracts beautifully to give a well-fitted fingerless mitten with wrist-narrowing appeal while the wavy lines work to elongate the arm.

It looks best in subtle semi-solid, hand-paint yarns such as luxurious madelinetosh Pashmina or Handmaiden Casbah.

Yarn:
Handmaiden Casbah, 1 skein
Colour shown: Topaz and Minegold
or
madelinetosh Pashmina, 1 skein

Any sportweight yarn should work; look for one in a
solid or semi-solid colour with a little sheen from silk
or very tightly twisted wool.

Gauge: 10cm/4 in = 26 sts in stocking stitch

Needles: 3mm/US 3 dpns or 100cm/40 in circular needle if using ‘magic loop’ technique
