Notions: stitch markers, waste yarn, tapestry needle

This pattern was part of the gift given to the Hill Country Yarn Crawl 2012 participants.

Simple knit and purl stitches are used to create a rich faux-bois woodgrain effect. The ribbing of the back of the hand swirls and swerves as it moves around a detailed knot-hole in the grain, finding it’s way back to regular ribbing. The palms are done in a quick and smooth stockinette. A wide range of sizes also make these wearable by both men and women.

A huge debt of gratitude goes to the unequaled Kennedy Berry for her expert layout and photography and editing and extraordinary patience.
