PATTERN NOTES
The Snow Day Hat is knit in the round from the bottom up. The Snow Day Mittens are also knit in the round from the bottom up. Stitches are increased for the thumb, then the thumb stitches are placed on hold and the hand is completed separately. Then, thumb stitches are picked back up and worked in the round.
