Yarn: Worsted weight wool yarn, approximately 420 yds / 384 m for set (cowl: 126 yds / 115 m; mitts: 84 yds / 77 m,

Mineral is inspired by the gorgeous colors of the Malabrigo Rios yarn and the crystalline shapes of minerals. The hat can be worn as a slouchy beret or blocked into a more standard tam shaping. The delicate scallop shape of the cowl edge is naturally formed by the stitch pattern. Fingerless mitts complete the set.

Each piece of the set is a variation on the stitch pattern, so that all are easy to knit but also provide variety and fun.
