Airdrie Hat and Mitts Set
Notes:
This stylish hat and mitts set are knit in twisted rib stitch, which
means they are quite stretchy. The mitts are knit flat, and the
side is seamed with a hole for the thumb. The slouchy hat is knit
in the round from the bottom up and finished with a pom pom
for extra pizzazz. The screaming neon of Pucker will brighten up
dull winter days, and Mighty Stitch means these pieces will go
through the washer easily.
For the hat, change to DPNs when there are too few sts to fit
comfortably on the circular needle.
