DESCRIPTION
Inspiration for the Evergrey Mitts came from the silver needles of a blue spruce (Picea pungens). The cuffs are worked using a lace-and-twisted-stitch rib that reminded me of a forest floor covered with fallen needles. The back of the hand is adorned with a cabled spruce motif encased in a medallion of twisted stitches.The mitts are worked in the round cuff up using either double-pointed needles or magic loop. Left and right mitts can be worked two-at-a-time.
The pattern is written with both metric and US terminology. Both written and charted instructions are given for the stitch patterns.

TECHNIQUES USED
This pattern uses the following techniques: working small circumferences in the round on double-pointed needles or in magic loop, lace, twisted stitches, casting on in the middle of a round, picking up stitches, and advanced cables.The ability to work from a chart is recommended but written instructions are also provided for the stitch patterns.
Some cables require the use of two cable needles; cabling without a cable needle will speed up your knitting.
