Description: This is a value-added two in one pattern. It’s a lovely beret pattern that looks great in active variegated colorways or more low contrast choices. Along with the hat is a matching gauntlet. A gauntlet is the garment name for fingerless mitts with a defined thumb. Wear them together as a set or separately.

She lives on a small farm, and her family has a long history of traditional jousting – the official sport of Maryland. Linda teaches knitting, and designs wonderful patterns!
Skill Level: The skill on this pattern is easy. The challenge in the patterns comes from a lacy cable stitch, you will also need to be familiar with using double points.

To make both projects, 2 skeins of Merlin yarn are needed. Merlin is 250 yards each skein of worsted weight, wool & mohair, hand-dyed yarn. You could choose two of the same colorway or use an accent color for cuffs and ribbing.
