Taking inspiration from the mission and guidelines of Wool-Aid, Crazy 8 Cable Mittens and Hat are designed to create a pair of warm woolen mittens and hat for a child who lives in the coldest climate and has the least access to resources. The cables are worked with 5 stitches held to back, and 3 knit from the left. The set is worked with rhythmic rib patterns, can be knit in a weekend or two, and makes the mittens and hat perfect for a charity such as Wool Aid. This may be considered an intermediate level pattern because knowledge of cable and stitch construction is helpful.
