A collection of hats and mittens inspired by the pets and woodland creatures my two daughters adore. Hat is worked in basic stockinette stitch with Latvian braid using colors to complement the natural colors and markings of the animal that inspired the design. Ears are worked separately and sewn on. Mittens feature matching braid detail.
