2020 HAT & MITTS
by Melanie Berg

Melanie's Description: For me, December is often a month in which I look back and review the year. 2020 demanded a lot from us all. Who would have thought this would be so last New Years Eve, when we celebrated carefree with champagne and parties?

If there's one thing I've learned this year - it's that friendship and connectedness are what count in life. Laugh together, cry together. Support each other in getting back on one's feet to carry on.

Perhaps you also experienced friendship during the crisis? Maybe you want to say thank you to someone, or even surprise someone ? The "2020 Hat" knits up quick and is perfect as a little Christmas gift.
Together with the matching mitts (there's also a pattern for them), it makes a wonderful set for the cold season.

The yarn is also something special: pure cashmere from Pascuali, certified organic. Have fun knitting!
