An adorable hat + mittens set with the cutest black and white sheep! Available in two sizes and knit up in Sandnes Garn’s superwash merino, it makes a sweet and easy-care gift for any new caregiver.

Fair Isle edging and alternating white and black sheep make for a sweet and visually stunning design, and the pattern provides for both newborn and baby sizes. Sandnes Garn provides a number of lovely colours – pick your favourite for the background and use either of the two whites (the creamier option is used here) and the black for the accents!
