The hat is made in one piece, in the round, using circular or double point needles. It is closed at the top with a series of decreases, until the remaining stitches are threaded through and secured. The hat can be made in 6 sizes and is designed to be a slightly slouchy fit.
The bonnet is made in one piece, back and forwards, until reaching the back section, when stitches are joined in the round for a series of decreases to form the bonnet back. The bonnet can be made in 3 sizes. It is designed to be a fairly close-fitting, traditional style bonnet, so if you prefer a loose-fitting style, then size up where possible.
The mittens are made in the flat, worked back and forth, then seamed along one edge. They are a one-piece, generously sized mitten to allow movement of the hands inside them.

If preferred, the mitten could be joined and continued in the round after the snowflake is completed and finished with Kitchener stitch. This would then leave the side seam to be sewn. The mittens can be made in 6 sizes.
