Knitting pattern for Dug hat & mittens

Here is the pattern for an adorable little hat and a pair of elegant mittens, both adorned with a decorative smock pattern that adds a delicate and modern touch. The hat and mittens are knitted in the softest blend of our organic merino wool, Önling No 4, together with a strand of the delicate silk mohair, Önling No 10. This is a perfect set for chilly days, with the clear blue winter sky as a backdrop and the frost gently making its arrival. A warm and stylish set that embraces both comfort and beauty.

Designed by Katrine Hannibal for Önling.

Procedure:
The hat and mittens are worked in the round, from the bottom up. Cast on stitches and work a rib edge, then switch to the wrap pattern and knit straight up, after which decreases are worked in the pattern, and stitches are bound off. The mittens are worked the same wrap pattern, but on the mittens, a contrasting yarn is worked in the middle of the work for the thumb. Finally, the stitches from the contrasting yarn are picked up, and the thumb is knitted. The pattern may cause the hat and mittens to ‘twist’ slightly, but this can be straightened when washed and steamed afterwards.
