Afterglow

A hat and hand warmers set for everyone in your life! Have fun playing with color...pick bright and cheery colors to brighten any gloomy day, or pick neutral tones to keep it simple and modern. Knit using the beautiful Purl Soho Linen Quill, the color choices are endless, and this accessory set is sure to keep you and your loved ones toasty warm on all of your cold weather adventures. 

NOTES: The hat is knit in the round from brim to crown. The hand warmers are knit in the round from the bottom up, then separated at the thumbhole, then joined to work in the round once again to finish.

This set is knit with the yarn held double, following the gradient pattern as instructed within the pattern. When holding two strands of the same color, use both ends of the same ball of yarn, by pulling the end from the center of the ball, and holding it with the end of the outside of the ball.
