Finished Measurements Hat: 18" brim circumference and 8.5" deep. Mitts: 6 (6.75, 7.5)" hand circumference and 7.25 (7.75, 8.5)" long.

Materials To create the Harpswell set, you will need 2 (3, 3) skeins of Green Mountain Spinnery Mountain Mohair, which is a blend of 30% Mohair and 70% wool (approximately 140 yards per 2 oz skein) in the stunning colorway Glacier Lake. As a rough estimate, you'll require approximately 165 yards for the hat and 115 (135, 165) yards for the mitts.
For a recommended substitute, consider using Donegal Luxury Tweed by Debbie Bliss, which boasts a luxurious blend of 90% wool and 10% angora (96 yards per 50g) in the beautiful Pebble colorway.
You will need one 16" circular needle in size US 7 (4.5 mm) and one set of double-pointed needles in the same size. Feel free to adjust the needle size as needed to obtain the correct gauge for your project.
Additional knitting supplies include stitch markers, waste yarn, and a tapestry needle to assist with your project.
Gauge To ensure that your finished items turn out perfectly, aim for a gauge of 21 stitches and 36 rounds = 4" in a working stitch pattern.
