Soft contrast for delicate colourwork, this hat and mitten set is both elegant and ethereal. Knitters will love the simple stranded colour pattern, worked quickly in a DK-weight yarn, and delight in the final project that is a dream for year-round wear.

PATTERN NOTES
Carry yarns not in use loosely across the wrong side, twisting when necessary to avoid long floats.
The colour pattern is both written (see Stitches Used) and charted (p3) for your preference.
