A pair of warm and snuggly fingerless mitts that are reminiscent of pine cones.

Slipped stitches create pockets of air to keep your hands warm, and make these mitts ideal for handspun yarn which might be a little variable in thickness.

Stitch pattern used in the mitts is available in both written and charted formats, though the majority of the instructions are written.

A matching slouchy hat is available for a coordinated look.
