Stay cozy in this stylish and practical beanie and fingerless mitts set worked in two colours. The interesting textured stitch pattern helps to keep you warm and is simply achieved with slip stitches – meaning that you’re only ever working with a single colour per round.

The hat is given in four sizes, and the mitts in three so you can be sure of a perfect fit. The beanie is slightly long, perfect for pulling down over chilly ears or slouching further back on the head for slightly warmer days where fashion wins out over warmth.

Yarn:

Note: This amount does not allow for swatching. On a small item like this I prefer to check gauge after working a few inches. Beginning with the mitts is the simplest way to check gauge.
