The Lampwork Hat and Mitts are a colorful, coordinating accessory set that both show off the same bright patterning. Worked in the same colors at different gauges, the hat uses Wool of the Andes Worsted and is worked as a simple beanie with ribbing at the brim while a deep chevron pattern transitions into what seems like panels of stained glass along the crown. The mitts use a lighter weight yarn with Wool of the Andes Sport and are worked identically except for thumb placement. Similar to the hat, the mitts are started with a wide ribbed cuff.
