Knitted with fluffy yarn for a light & airy fabric, for a cozy set with refined details. **Construction** The Honey Hood is started by creating a rectangle of fabric with cables and lace for the top of the head. The stitch pattern then continues seamlessly along each side of the head while stitches are picked up from one side of the rectangle to work a broken rib stitch pattern at the back of the head. The back of the head is then shaped using German Short Rows and increases. After the length of the hood is finished, a broken rib stitch scarf is added to the bottom. The scarf is short & wide and features a keyhole detail for an extra option to wear the scarf. The Honey Mittens are started by working a folded picot edge. Then, we start working our honeycomb cable combined with the broken rib stitch. The mitten has subtle shaping for the thumb. The decreases are hidden in the pattern repeat. **Skill** Difficulty 3/5.
