This toasty hat and mitt set evokes the flames of a winter fire with an oversized cable motif flickering up each piece. Two options are provided for the hat: a loose tam or a more fitted hat. Chunky weight yarn ensures that these accessories will be especially warm, acting as a small portable substitute for the warm blaze awaiting you at home.

Skills required beyond knit and purl include increasing, decreasing, cables (instructions are charted).
