These mittens, with the matching hat and scarf, are inspired by the fictional town of Port Oxford.

The pattern is a ‘knit story’ featuring flowers held back by a white picket fence, boats in the harbour and rolling balls of wool in this idyllic neighbourhood. Knit the set with Amy and her crime solving friends while reading my Port Oxford cozy mystery 3 book series; Needled to Death, French Roulette and Forensic Knitting Murder. The ebook and paperbacks are for sale on amazon and rlbeck.com)

The three patterns are sold separately for $1 USD each. The hat and mittens are knit in the round and the scarf is in double knit.

The grey hat and mitten set is in Sweet Georgia Tough Love Sock 28gr. mini skeins in Graphite Fade. The 6 shades of grey in the fade set (168 gr. total) will easily make a hat and pair of mittens. You could also adjust the colours and use a 5 shade set.

The pastel hat, mittens and scarf are made from 6 colours of Knit Picks Palette (300 gr. total) with enough left over to make another 2 but not all three pieces with some colour changes.
