This checkerboard set features a hat, mitts and cowl that use a simple slip-stitch technique to create a stylish Scandinavian look. You will only be working with one color at a time, so relatively new knitters can work up a colorwork pattern all their own. Once you’ve mastered the hat and cowl, you can work on the slightly more complex construction of the matching mittens.
