The hand warmers of this striking set are worked in the round from the bottom up except for the thumb opening which is shaped by working flat. Easy to customize, simply add or subtract ribbing stitches for desired circumference or ribbing at the top or bottom to adjust the length.

For the hat, the band is worked flat, then the ends are seamed with the three needle bind off. Stitches are then picked up for the crown shaping and worked in the round. Stitches are picked up along the other long edge for ribbing, which is also worked in the round.
