When my son’s car seat was finally turned front-facing, he couldn’t get enough of stoplights. He continues to delight in telling me when it’s my turn to stop or preferably GO! Mittens are worked wrist up, in the round, and include thumb instruction for sizes Toddler and up. Hat is worked bottom up and in the round as well. Knit tightly, the set is toasty warm for winter. Both projects are great for beginners.
