Notes
These two sets of hats and mittens are worked from seven colors – two hats and four mittens from seven skeins of yarn. The Copo de Nieve (snowflake) design has classic Fair Isle OXO motifs separated by smaller border patterns. The Ramillete (flower bouquet) design is based on a traditional Scandinavian pattern. Both designs are worked in the round using only two colors per round and have knitted hems with picot edging.
