Originally designed for the Progressive East End Project (PEEP) 2021. Each year six yarn stores in the eastern metro area of Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota join together to host a Mystery Knit- and Crochet-A-Long (MKAL/MCAL)! The project for 2021 was a hat and mittens (knit) or mitts (crochet) set. You can view the crochet pattern, Not a Peep About It here.

About this pattern - Jeepers Peepers is a unisex hat and mittens (with the option to make fingerless mitts if so desired) set. There are two size options for both the hat (18”/20” circumference x 8.75” tall) and the mittens/mitts (6.5”/7.5” circumference at the palm).
