Keeping your ears warm can be a challenge during a polar vortex! This bulky knit hat has a garter stitch band to block the wind and keep your ears warm in the coldest of weather. The bulky knit mittens have a striped, garter stitch band and are thick enough to keep your fingers toasty during the worst that winter can throw at you. Better knit up several sets for the next blast of cold!
Simple Latvian designs decorate the upper part of the hat and the palm of the mittens. These small designs add a special touch and are a great way to practice your stranded knitting without committing to a big project.
