Finished measurements
| Project | Size | Finished measurement |
|---|---|---|
| Heather hat | One adult size | Approximately 44.5cm circumference |
| Heather mittens | One adult size | Designed to fit an average adult woman’s hand |
The pattern provides a fixed circumference for the hat. The mittens are listed by Rowan as fitting an average adult woman’s hand rather than by a fixed finished length.
Exact yarn requirements
The hat and mittens each require one ball. To knit the complete matching set, order 2 balls in total.
| Project | Shade | Balls required | Approx. metreage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hat only | Cranberry 020 | 1 ball | 130m |
| Pair of mittens only | Cranberry 020 | 1 ball | 130m |
| Complete hat and mittens set | Cranberry 020 | 2 balls | 260m |
If knitting the complete set, order both balls together to improve the likelihood of receiving a matching dye lot.
