Marlie Mittens

The Marlie scarf, hat, and mittens patterns use an easy twist stitch to provide texture, interest, stretch, and just plain fun to knit. The hat is a very stretchy beanie, the scarf has a keyhole design to allow for less length but more stability, and the mittens have extra twisting detail along the sides for fun and comfort. Done in a bulky alpaca/wool blend yarn, there’s plenty of time to knit up a set to keep everyone in the family toasty warm this winter!
