1 W285 Alpaca Lana D Oro Arctic Set Designed by Diane Zangl

2 Alpaca Lana D Oro Arctic Set Designed by Diane Zangl Fair Isle motifs go vertical in this winter set. The hat is shaped at the top by means of equally spaced decreases. The hemmed brim adds extra warmth at the lower edge. Mittens are worked as a traditional Northern manner, with thumb gussets and a shaped top. Small checks decorate the palm; the hemmed cuff repeats the hat s silhouette. Some store model have been knit without the hem at the bottom of the hat.

Special Stitches: CDD (Centered Double Decrease): Sl 2 sts tog knitwise to RH needle, knit next st, pass 2 sl sts over knit st. The center st will lie on top. M1L (Make 1 Left): Make a clockwise loop and place on RH needle. M1R (Make 1 Right): Make a counter-clockwise loop and place on RH needle. Palm Pattern: Rnd 1: K1 blue, *k1 gray, k1 blue; rep from * as directed. Rnd 2: K1 gray, *k1 blue, k1 gray; rep from * as directed. Rep Rnds 1-2 for pattern. Stockinette Stitch: Knit on RS, purl on WS. (Knit every row in the round). MITTENS: RIGHT MITTEN: Hem: With gray and DPNs, CO 40 sts. Divide onto 3 needles as follows: 21 sts on first needle for back of hand, 10 sts on needle #2 and 9 sts on needle #3 for palm. Join, placing marker between first and last st. Work even in St st for 14 rnds. Purl 1 rnd. Change to larger needles and work even from Chart C through Rnd 13. Fold hem to inside of hat. Joining rnd: Insert RH needle into next st, then into first CO st, K2tog with blue. Continue to work K2tog around, joining both layers. Work Rnds of Chart C, inc 4 sts on Rnd 17 of size M/L only 40 (44) sts. Sl last 3 sts of needle #1 onto needle #2 18 sts on needle #1, 13 (14) sts on needle #2, 9 (12) sts on needle #3. Set up pattern: Rnd 1: Referring to Chart B, work from C to D on first 21 sts, work Rnd 1 of Palm pattern over next 19 (23) sts. Rnd 2: Work 19 sts from chart, PM, K1 blue, PM, K1 gray, work Rnd 2 of Palm pattern on remaining sts.

4 Beg thumb gusset: Inc rnd: Work chart over 19 sts, Sl marker, M1L, K1 blue, M1R, Sl marker, work in established pattern to end of rnd. Rnd 2: Work even, keeping back of hand sts in chart pattern, palm sts in Palm pattern, and thumb sts between markers in alternating vertical stripes. Continue to inc every other rnd after first marker and before second marker until there are 11 (13) sts between markers, ending with Rnd 2. Next rnd: Work established pattern over 19 sts, removing markers Sl 11 (13) gusset sts between markers to holder, CO 1 blue st to RH needle, work to end of rnd. Keeping palm sts in check pattern and back sts in chart pattern, work even until Rnd 34 has been completed. Shape top: Rnd 35: K1 gray, K1 blue, *with gray SSK, work in pattern to 2 sts before next vertical gray line, with gray K2tog, K1 blue; rep from * once. Continue to dec every rnd until 16 sts remain. Cut yarns, leaving an 18 length of gray. Divide sts evenly onto 2 needles. Weave top of mitten using Kitchener st. Thumb: Sl sts from holder onto 2 dpn. With third dpn and alternating colors to maintain vertical stripe pattern established in gusset, pick up and knit 5 sts along remainder of opening 16 (18) sts. Work even in alternating stripe pattern until thumb measures 2 (2½) above picked-up sts. Cut blue. Shape tip: With gray, k2tog until 4 (5) sts remain. Cut yarn, leaving an 8 end. Draw yarn through remaining sts twice. LEFT MITTEN: Work as for right mitten, reversing shaping by making thumb gusset between gray vertical lines to the right of back panel, and redistributing sts by slipping first 3 sts of needle #1 to needle #3 18 sts on needle #1; 9 (12) sts on needle #2; and 13 (14) sts on needle #3. Work thumb as for right mitten. HAT Hem: With gray and smaller circular needle, cast on 120 sts. Join, placing marker between first and last st. Work even in St st for 14 rnds. Purl 1 rnd. Change to larger needle and work even from Chart A through Rnd 13. Fold hem to inside of hat. Joining rnd: Insert RH needle into next st, then into first cast-on st, k2tog with blue. Continue to work k2tog around, joining both layers. Work Rnds of Chart A. Referring to Chart B, [work from A to B] 4 times. Begin top decs on Rnd 35, changing to dpn when necessary. 16 sts are decreased every rnd 4 times, then 8 sts are decreased every rnd 3 times. Work a CDD as a final dec on Rnd 38 in small panel, and on Rnd 42 of large panel 24 sts remain when all decs have been completed.

5 Note: Decs are made by working ssk on left-slanting diagonals and k2tog on right-slanting diagonals. Always work decreases with gray so the 3 vertical lines between panels remain constant. (see photo). Next rnd: With gray, k2tog around 12 sts. Cut yarn and draw through remaining sts twice.
