If you are a beginner in the technique then there is a graded progression you can follow, starting with the very easy cowl. Then make the hat which introduces double decrease shaping. Follow with the hand warmers and you will learn how to make thumb gussets. Finally you will graduate to the intricacies of the gloves where each digit is worked in a patterned circular fashion. You will be an expert by the time you have finished the set.

Story

I had long wanted to design an Autumn version of my Oregon but there were no yarns available to bring my scheme to fruition until I designed my Hebridean colour palette. It was one of the first stranded designs I made with Hebridean 2 Ply in 2001, and since then it has proved to be a great favourite with knitters the world over. The hat set is a perfect foil for my patterns and colours, and it has the great advantage of being very quick to make. It is a joy to wear and will make the perfect gift as a kit for a knitter, or as a finished set for someone very special.
