The LU LA LOOP pattern consists of a warm hat and a lovely pair of mittens, both worked in a bouclé yarn and held together with a classic wool yarn.
The bouclé yarn creates a very special and interesting graphic look, and the combination of yarns gives you the perfect opportunity to make your own color combination.
The hat and mittens are worked first in rib and then in garter stitch. Ultimately, they are turned inside out, and the wrong side becomes the new right side of the work.
The project is beginner-friendly.
Size
Hat
Size: one size
Length: 32 cm
Circumference: 49 cm
Mittens
Size: one size
Length: 26 cm
Circumference: 19 cm
Needles
4.5 mm circular needle, 40 cm (hat) and 4.5 mm double-pointed needles (hat and mittens)
Gauge
17 stitches x 26 rows in stockinette stitch on a 4.5 mm needle = 10 x 10 cm
I recommend knitting a swatch before starting the project. Wash and dry the swatch before measuring the gauge. Adjust your needle size accordingly, as a single stitch more on less across 10 cm can change the fit of the finished hat and mittens considerably.
