Several years ago, I was gifted a pair of mittens from a friend who had taken a trip overseas. I love these mittens. Knit in charcoal, red and orange, they appealed to my sense of color and I wear them with my orange wool coat I got on sale at Nordstrom’s. (Of course, the orange coat was on the sale rack.) I have wanted to design a hat and cowl to match these mittens ever since. Taking inspiration from those gorgeous mittens, I’ve modified my own chart to make it a slightly simpler design and this set was born.

Measurements allow for 1” of negative ease.

Adult Medium sample was knit in Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport in 3 colors: MC #NS800 Black Oak; CC1 #NS46 Red Fox; and CC2 #NS17 French Clay.
Total yardage used was 165 yds, weight 44 g.

Note: If using leftover yarn you will need approximately 93 (112, 130) yds MC; 19 (23, 26) yds CC1; 26 (31, 36) yds CC2. This is an estimate only, your actual yardage may vary.
