This pattern is available for free.

Fair Isle motifs go vertical in this winter set. The hat is
shaped at the top by means of equally spaced decreases. The hemmed brim adds extra warmth at the lower edge.
Mittens are worked as a traditional Northern manner,
with thumb gussets and a shaped top. Small checks
decorate the palm; the hemmed cuff repeats the hat’s
silhouette. Some store model have been knit without the hem at the bottom of the hat.
