Fluffy and Snug is a beautiful and heavenly soft set of wrist warmers and a hat that you would not want to miss when temperatures drop.

A great accessory for a walk as well as for your daily journey to work. And the wrist warmers are also great to wear indoors: I love putting them on when I’m cold while sitting at the computer!

Being a lovely relaxing knit, they are perfect for those precious little skeins that you have kept for something really special!

Beginning with a provisional cast-on, the wrist warmers (Fluffy) are worked in the round as a tube, then grafted together for extra soft, extra warm, extra cute, and totally reversible doubled wrist warmers.

The hat (Snug) is worked from the top down in the round, totally adjustable in width and length to your needs and liking. The brim is loosely bound off and sewn to the WS of the hat. A cute little colorblock near the end of the doubled brim mimics the look of the wrist warmers.
