I really loved the Shedir hat pattern and the stash yarn I chose to make it with is so soft!

I wanted a stretchy edge so it wouldn't be tight around my head and after much searching, found that the Twisted German Cast On would do the trick.

When I was done I still had 2 balls left and thought it would be awesome to have some matching mittens. I looked around and didn't really find any Shedir inspired mittens so I decided to design them myself. 

I think they came out pretty good!

I'm putting the pattern together (and making a new, clean chart) so I hope to post it soon.
