Procedure
The mittens are worked in the round, starting from the wrist and worked toward the fingers. They are knitted using the magic loop method, but can of course be knitted on double-pointed needles if preferred.
Begin with a ribbed cuff. Then continue following the chart across the hand, placing stitches for the thumb and knitting the thumb gusset.
After finishing the thumb gusset, the stitches for the thumb are placed on hold, while the rest of the mitten are worked following the chart up to the top of the mitten. Slip the thumb stitches onto a needle, pick up and knit additional stitches around the opening, and finish working the thumb.
The cowl is worked in the round on circular needles. It is worked using the magic loop method, but can of course also be worked on a shorter circular needle or with double-pointed needles if preferred.
Begin with a rib edge in the main color, continue following the chart, and finish with a rib edge.
The headband is worked in the round on a circular needle. Cast on using a provisional cast-on and work
in the round using the magic loop method. You can, of course, use a shorter circular needle or double-pointed needles if you prefer.
Begin on the inside of the headband with stockinette stitch, then continue on the right side with the colorwork pattern following the chart. Finally, work another section in stockinette stitch for the inside of the headband before grafting the stitches together using Kitchener stitch.
