Slouchy Hat & Mitts Set // Design by Holli Yeoh Inspired by a swirling and twisting lace pattern, this slouchy hat and fingerless mitts combination begins with a garter stitch band/cuff worked flat holding two strands of yarn together, providing a sturdy structure for the lightweight lace which is worked with a single strand. The lace pattern is worked in the round and results in a spiral of lace around each piece. Both right and left slanting stitch patterns are included for those who wish to make mitts that are mirror images of each other. yarn: 2 skeins SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock in Amethyst (425 yd / 388 m per 4 oz / 115 g skein; 80% easy-care merino wool, 20% nylon) needles: One of each size 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3 US / 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25 mm circular needles, 32" / 80 cm longAdjust needle size if necessary to obtain correct gauge. gauge: Hat: 25.5 sts and 40 rows = 4" / 10 cm in Procella Right pattern working in the round using 3 US / 3.25 mm needles after blocking21 sts and 44 rows = 4" / 10 cm in garter st with two strands held together, working in rows and using 4 US / 3.5 mm needlesMitts: 35 sts and 44.5 rows = 4" / 10 cm in Procella Right pattern working in the round using 1 1/2 US / 2.5 mm needles after blocking finished measurements: Hat: To fit head circumference 19 (21, 22, 23)" / 48.5 (53.5, 56, 58.5) cmBand circumference (unstretched) 16 3/4 (18 1/4, 19 3/4, 21 1/4)" / 42.5 (46.5, 50, 54) cmIntended to be worn with 10-15% of negative ease - choose a finished size about 2-3" / 5-7.5 cm smaller than your head.
