Fog Bank Hat and Mittens
Fog Bank is a simply shaped, super chunky hat and mittens set, embellished by gradient-style color changes. The colors are worked in simple stripes, but a clever use of slipped stitches creates a fun zagging transition without the trouble of stranding.
Both hat and mittens are worked in the round from the bottom up. The mittens have a ribbed cuff and the thumb is worked after finishing the thumb gusset and before moving on to complete the rest of the hand. The hat features a Garter Stitch brim. The super bulky yarn, easy color work, and simple shaping make for a speedy knit that's cozy and fun.
