This pattern is mostly written with a small chart for the textured section

Small details matter and this set has just a couple of detail notes, enough to make them stand out. And as these accessories sit so close to the skin why not knit them with the softest yarn you can find.

The fingerless mitts are simple and both are knit the same with no right or left mitten.

Pick a soft hand dyed Merino, or a Merino/Cashmere blend or even a Merino/Yak blend, just like these pieces, for supreme close to the skin softness and knit this cowl and mitts up for yourself or as a gift for a friend!
