Double Lace Rib Set #702-4

I designed the hat of this set first, and I like it so much that I decided to make a cowl to go with it. Then of course I couldn't stop there, so I made the mitts as well. It's an easy, satisfying set to knit up, and the bulky yarn makes it a quick knit. The lace part of the pattern is so easy to do – just a single yarnover and decrease every other round – so don't be intimidated if you've never worked lace before.

The stitch patterns are presented in written format only.
