Notes
The charted designs for this combo are inspired by Maori Tribal Creation Myths, more specifically the ‘Tai Huri-huri’ symbol, which means ‘Turning Tides’ & is said to represent the cyclical yet ever changing nature of life. For this design I chose shades that remind me of Earth, Sea & Sky- this design is sized for adults (medium), head sizes ranging from 20-22”, hand sizes ranging 6.5-8”, measured around largest part of palm ( excluding thumb). Knit in the round in Cascade 220 worsted weight 100% wool
(Bonus raised increase photo tutorial included on last page)
Skill level: For experienced color knitters & good chart readers. There are never more than 2 shades per round, but there are frequent shade changes & long floats that should be locked back every 4th st. Hat is worked from bottom to top, Mitts from cuff to knuckles. Charts are color-coded to correspond as closely as possible to Cascade 220 heathers & solid shades as listed in pattern.
