A Churchmouse Yarns and Teas Pattern – Snowflake Hat & Muffler (PDF)

Description

A flurry of stitches.

Weve sprinkled a frosty, stranded colorwork motif around theSnowflake Hat & Muffler! The two-color pattern starts with a denser, zigzag snowbank, then moves to the Nordic-inspired snowflakes themselves, and finally lightens up with a dusting of lice stitch flurries. The muffler is worked in the round from both ends and then grafted in the center, while the hat ends up in a two-pointed crown thats just plain adorable.
