Revolution Toque and Mitten Set (Multi-Pattern Bundle)
Double Pattern Deal: Two popular patterns combined in one high-value bundle. (Also available separately.)
Get noticed in the striking stripes of this cozy Two-Colour Brioche-knit hat and mitten set!
This simple accessory set is the perfect way to develop your brioche knitting skills. The two yarns worked throughout are much warmer than plain stockinette, ensuring the wearer will be warm and toasty. The hat is reversible, and the long cuff of the mittens will keep snow out of sleeves.
With clear instructions, including photos and clear explanations of all needed brioche stitches, you’ll be a pro briocher in no time. These are such a fun knit, you might have a hard time making just one set—but fortunately, with sizes from toddler up to adult extra-large, you won’t have to. Choose two of your favourite colours, cast on, and start brioche knitting today!
