Twirling Hat and Mittens

When the chilly days are biting, a pair of fingerless mittens becomes an essential wardrobe staple, and what better accessory to complement them than a matching hat to keep you snug and stylish! This versatile set is sized for adults and can be created in two fabulous ways: either worked flat and seamed (as detailed on pages 2–5) or seamlessly crafted in the round (follow pages 6–9 for instructions). For a striking two-tone effect reminiscent of the images shown, consider using two DK yarns held together, or opt for a cozy Aran-weight yarn instead. No matter your choice, it’s crucial to check the tension and yardage meticulously before you dive into your knitting project. Ensure you achieve the recommended gauge of 18 stitches and 24 rows per 10cm/4”, so your handmade items fit perfectly. With this pattern, you’ll not only keep warm; you’ll create beautiful accessories that showcase your knitting skills while enhancing your wardrobe. Dive into this delightful project and enjoy the satisfaction of making your own fingerless mittens and hat set this winter!
