When the wind is howling and the snow and cold are blowing in from the Arctic you need a hat and mittens that will keep your ears and fingers from freezing. This hat and mittens set is made in a thick bulky weight that will do just that.
Knit in the round, the cuff is cast on in two colors with Old Norwegian Cast On then a row of Double Purl is worked. This technique is originally from Finland. A stranded band on the hat adds extra insulation for the ears. Mitten has a gusset thumb and the traditional Norwegian point at the fingertips. These techniques are explained in the pattern.
