Midnight Snowfall Accessories, PDF pattern

About The Design:

After I designed the ‘Midnight Snowfall Tea Cozy’, I just had to use the color pattern as the main pattern for a set of hats and mittens.

To make the mittens more interesting to knit and wear, I designed them in the Norwegian style, with a smaller palm pattern, striped thumb gussets and thumbs, demarcating side stripes, and angled shaping at the tips.

Instead of the usual Norwegian-style wide patterned cuff, which wears outside one’s sweater or jacket, I used ribbing for the cuffs, as I prefer mitten cuffs to reside inside my sweater or coat. I left the hats pompom-less, but there’s no reason you can’t add them!

The pattern offers a child’s medium and a woman’s medium hat and mittens, knit in widely available Lamb’s Pride Worsted and Lanaloft Worsted. Full-size mitten charts make it easier to follow. Knit a set for someone you love this winter!
