Notes: This hat is worked in the round from the bottom up. The mittens are worked in the round from the cuff up; both mittens are identical and can be worn on either hand. The charts are worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color; this will prevent tangling. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than four stitches, tack stranded yarn on wrong side of work.
