Aunt Edie's Butterfly set

We drew Aunt Edie's name for our Christmas exchange. She wanted a hat and mitten set.... music to a knitter's ears! I knit her a "Butterfly Hat" so called for the butterfly stitch used throughout the hat. The yarn is Purled Llama's 50% alpaca/50% wool. It's very soft.

I knit a basic, rolled cuff mitten and added a butterfly stitch to the back of each mitten so they'd match the hat.

I love the way the hat (and the mittens) turned out. I'm definitely going to put this pattern in the keeper pile.
