Deep in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey lives a creature of myth and legend; The Jersey Devil. Said to be the cursed 13th child of Mrs. Leeds, the Jersey Devil is a cloven-hoofed monster, that flies through the dark forest on leathery wings. Devilish horns atop it’s horse like head, and its blood curdling screams can be heard as it roams through the Pine Barrens.

These fingerless mitts are the perfect accessory for your next cryptid seeking adventure! The mitts are constructed from the cuff up, and include a corrugated ribbing cuff, stranded colourwork on the top and palm of the mitt, and are finished with matching corrugated ribbing at the fingers with a tidy I-cord bind off. The thumb is placed during the colourwork, and sts picked up at the end, and finished after the rest of the mitt.
