I asked, and you delivered! On social media, I wanted to know: should I make a winter set with just a hat and mittens, or go all out with a hat, mittens, and scarf? At first, there were mixed opinions—some of you wanted the simplicity of two pieces, while others were all in for a full set. But the votes for all three quickly took the lead! So, because you asked for it, I created the Almond Stitch Winter Set.

This cozy, textured trio includes a snug hat, warm mittens, and a stylish infinity scarf, all designed to keep you comfortable and chic this winter.

Materials

You’ll need DROPS Nepal yarn, a soft and warm wool-alpaca blend, or any complementary yarn with similar properties. Look for a medium-weight yarn (yarn group C) that matches the gauge: 17 sts x 17 rows = 10 x 10 cm for the hat and mittens, and 15 sts x 15 rows = 10 x 10 cm for the scarf.

Here are a few suggestions for alternatives:

Berroco Vintage Chunky: A versatile wool blend that’s easy to care for.

Lion Brand Wool-Ease: A soft, durable wool-acrylic blend.

Patons Classic Wool Worsted: 100% wool with great stitch definition.

• Hat & Mittens: 4 mm crochet hook
• Scarf: 5 mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle, scissors, measuring tape, stitch markers
