LTC Charity Adams set (hats, mittens, cowls knit patterns)

This is a pattern to knit a tammy, beanie, cowl (2 length options) and mittens using the stranded colourwork technique. This pattern is intended for experienced knitters familiar with colour or symbol charts and basic shaping. The charts are shown with colour and symbols on the same chart.

You may use the same colours or use the ‘light, medium, dark’ as a colour guide.

Size of mittens is determined by needles/gauge.

A special thank you to FromAnnesNeedles who made the cowls possible! I am designing only from stash and small farms for 2025.
