Hat Pattern : Shedir 3 pattern repeats (brilliant design, all the decreases are hidden in the cabling)
Yarn: Sirdar Sublime cashmere silk merino, slightly more than one ball
Needles: 3.3 mm clover circulars


Mitten Pattern: Ann Budd's mitten recipe with Shedir cables. Gauge 6.5 sts per inch, knitted the 4th size.
Yarn: Sirdar Sublime cashmere silk merino, less than one ball
Needles: 3.3 mm clover circulars

This Sublime yarn is super stretchy and soft enough to wear next to your skin.

According to the yarn band, it is dk weight - 22 sts per 4 ins. I used a smaller needle size and knitted to 26 sts and the knitted fabric is still nice & soft.

Mittens as hand puppets that can talk to one another.



Look, mama, it's a 'bad guy' hat!
