Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun. Randy Pausch
This is a pattern for a slouchy beanie and pair of mitts/muffatees worked from the bottom up, in the round, and using the stranded colourwork technique.
The hat pattern includes 2 motifs to choose from (sheep & rabbits). There are a few rounds with long floats and I have included an explanation of the Ladder-Back/Invisible Jacquard method (page 5). But you may tack your floats any way you like. There are also partials charts on Pages 9 - 14.
The muffatees pattern is on pages 6 - 8.

Mona Zillah - bunnymuff
Inspired by the environments around me, I strive to make relevant designs that are clever additions to any outfit; blending traditional and contemporary styles, with a focus on colourwork. Most bunnymuff patterns are easily adjustable for a personal best fit in an extended range of sizes. bunnymuff supports ethical sourcing and climate/people conscious buttons, wool stuffing, and other notions!
