You can have bees in your bonnet, busy bees in your hands, and stay toasty and warm with these charming mittens and hat. Bzzzzz is a pattern set that includes colorwork mittens and a beanie style hat which is topped with a cute icord knot. Both hat and mittens include corrugated ribbing done on the diagonal, Finnish purling, and Latvian Braid. The three-color section in the mittens can be worked in either duplicate stitch or intarsia

8 stitches to the inch produces a mitten 8 inches in circumference, which fits a women’s size medium to large hand. Length of the mitten hand is easily adjustable. A long, gauntlet style cuff can be worked at any length the knitter desires! The hat fits a medium size head, and the ribbing has plenty of stretch.

To complete both hat and mittens, the knitter will need about 200 yards of black, 220 yards of gold and 400-500 yards of cream or white. The pattern is written for fingering weight sticky yarn for classic fair isle weight mittens and hat.

No special notions are needed, and needles can be chosen to get the gauge that you desire.
