Chevron Illusion Hat & Mittens
This hat and mitten pattern is worked in worsted-weight yarn and features an easy two-color stranded colorwork design as well as lots of Latvian Braids! Alternating the color choices between the two keeps things interesting (and uses almost all of the two skeins of yarn).
Note: Colorwork is charted only; written instructions are not included.
