Raw Honey is one of my go-to knitting patterns, and now it's time to enhance your winter wardrobe with a matching hat! This delightful accessory perfectly complements the original mitts, both of which can be crafted using a single skein of Lochsa DK yarn.

When the chilly months roll in, one of my favorite rituals is enjoying a warm cup of freshly brewed tea. To create a soothing beverage, simply take some loose dried peppermint, spearmint, or lemon balm and bring water to a boil. Once the water is ready, add the dried leaves, turn off the heat, and cover the pot to let the mix steep for 5-10 minutes. For added sweetness and health benefits, stir in a touch of raw honey or elderberry syrup. This natural concoction not only warms you up but also helps to alleviate headaches and stomachaches, making it a perfect winter treat.

To maximize your yardage, consider working the single brim (instead of the folded brim) and reducing the repeat count on the Raw Honey mitts by one. This way, you can confidently create both the hat and mitts using just one skein of Lochsa DK yarn! The sample shown is crafted in the stunning Lakes Yarn and Fiber Lochsa DK, which offers a luxurious and soft feel against the skin.

For those looking for alternative options, we've included suggested substitutes for the yarn below, ensuring that you can find the perfect match for your personal style and preferences. Join the cozy knitting community and embrace the beauty of handmade warmth with the Raw Honey hat and mitts today!
