The Aquarelle Hat & Mitts set was designed for The Spinning Hand’s quarterly Hand-Dyed Knitting Kit subscription.

Aquarelle (or “watercolor”) refers to the gorgeous hand-dyed shades of Yarnette DK.
The Aquarelle Mitts are knit flat using circular needles, and seamed at the end. The thumb is edged with a single crochet stitch.

The Aquarelle Hat is knit in the round, features a picot ribbed brim, and colorwork that evokes a stained glass window.
