A herringbone stitch pattern creates rich texture in these unisex fingerless mitts and cloche hat. Cloche style hats are wonderful for framing your face and keeping your ears warm. This style with a half brim is especially flattering, and can be dressed up with a ribbon rose (instructions included) or another pretty brooch. Best of all, the brim is constructed completely of knit fabric – no plastic insert! – so it’s soft and flexible. Perfect for a foggy or windy day, the mitts are long enough to tuck up under your coat sleeves, and thick enough to keep your hands nice and warm.
