Inner Wild Stag Antler Warmers are easy to knit using less than 50g of chunky yarn on a pair of 6mm / US10 needles.
You'll also need several lengths of thick and think hand-spun wool or other trimming such as complementary ribbon or torn fabric.
Inner Wild Stag Antler Warmers are Ideal for using up left-over yarns from your stash.

Running with the deer for a moment, or longer maybe.
Stag Antler Warmers are knitted with hand-spun, hand-dyed pure wool trim on wool mix yarn in the colours of a young red deer's antlers: bark brown against ivory bone and pale pinkish bark.
I made them to be all raggedy and yet structured like a stag antler which is one of my favourite things.
They are snug-fitting around the wrist and widen gently to your fingers which gives a lovely line to wrist and hand.
I've left the hand-spun yarn to hang loose and raw like the bits of leaves and sheep wool that stags get on their antlers or bits of velvet moulting off.
The deer antler I'm holding in the photograph is vintage and was a gift from my cousin. It came from the Outer Hebrides where red deer run free and happily jump fences. It has inspired me to create the same colour and texture in fibre. This is how Inner Wild Stag Antler Warmers came into being. I hope they inspire you to make your own kind of wild fingerless gloves.

About your Inner Wild pattern:
All Inner Wild knitting patterns are designed to be precise yet creatively flexible so you can easily adapt them to your own individual style.
As an indie knitwear designer I’m free to choose any yarn and any needle size. I encourage you to also play with your favourite yarns and needle sizes and enjoy a sense of creative freedom. That’s why I don’t include prescriptive tension / gauge in my patterns.
On each Inner Wild knitting pattern I share the original yarn and needle size used in the accompanying Inner Wild knitwear photograph. These yarns include, for example, Debbie Bliss, Rowan, Araucania, Louisa Harding, Sirdar, Twilleys, Schachenmayr, Wendy and Patons.
Naturally, you’re free to substitute alternative yarns; perhaps something from your existing stash or a beautiful yarn that’s suddenly on sale. Experimenting with different yarns is always fun.
You can google “substitution for {name of yarn}” to find alternatives to my originals. This is also very handy for those who might be sensitive to particular wools or synthetic yarns - and helps to use up our existing yarn stash.
In cases when in the future you discover a particular yarn has been discontinued you can use the “saved search” facility on ebay to be notified when someone is selling that discontinued yarn. Or you may be able to buy a discontinued yarn from another knitter’s stash on Ravelry.
