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.
