Create a matching scarf with the Fourtunate Neck Scarf pattern. Get 20% off both patterns when purchased together.

A simple, easily memorized slip-stitch pattern combined with four coordinated colors makes for a stunning hat and mitt combination that is surprisingly easy to knit.

The straight-sided toque is knit in the round from the bottom up, beginning with a rolled edge brim. At the top, rounds of reverse stockinette stitch create the welt, then the flat crown is formed by a mad swirl of decrease rounds in variegated yarn.

The fingerless mitts are also knit in the round, beginning with a rolled edge followed by a ribbed cuff. The body of the mitt features the same slip-stitch pattern and color sequence, finishing up with an I-cord Bind Off and a ribbed afterthought thumb in worked in variegated yarn.
