With fall comes the end of sticky, humid summer days and the need for warm wooly accessories to protect exposed heads, hands and necks. This hat-and-mittens set, with nautical inspired colors and Fair Isle patterning (that provides an extra layer of warmth) is the perfect anecdote to unpredictable temperatures. The use of only two colors per round makes either project ideal for first-time colorwork. The jogless stripes at the top of the hat, mittens, and thumbs finish off the set with ease.
