This set of hat and fingerless mitts are perfect for spring! Worked bottom up and in the round, they can be worked in solid color or the cast-on and bind-off (mitts) can be worked in CC yarn to add a bit of fun and playfulness. The duplicate stitching takes a bit of patience to complete, but once done, it will be so fun to look at and wear!
