Sagittarius Set Kit

A perfect set of three! Knit a beanie, a pair of mitts, a cowl or all three! The Sagittarius Set by Anna Daku brings warmth to this winter season, and makes a beautiful gift set! Knit in our pleasingly plump Tundra yarn, these accessories work up quickly. They feature a pretty twisted stitch pattern which looks intricate, but is remarkably easy to work.

This fitted beanie is worked bottom up seamlessly in the round, featuring a twisted traveling rib brim with a stockinette crown. The cowl is worked bottom up, seamlessly in the round, featuring the same twisted traveling rib. It is designed to be folded in half and worn double layered. The mitten is worked bottom up seamlessly in the round and features the same twisted traveling rib cuff with a stockinette hand.

The Sagittarius Set is the eleventh pattern from The Almanac Series II, a seasonal guide to knitting with The Fibre Co. yarns.

The deepest days of winter are celebrated in our Yarn of the Month for December, Tundra. This yarn is a shining blend of fine Merino wool, baby alpaca and silk, perfect for making luxurious accessories (‘tis the season!) or even the warmest substantial sweaters.
