Stratified

Use this pattern to crochet a pair of mitts, cowl or a headband, or why not make the matching set? This pattern is an excellent skill builder, using simple stitches to create texture. Perfect for using up leftovers of DK yarn – try colourblocking the rib edgings or using scraps to make stripes.
