Hugs and Kisses Winter Set


We are having such a cold spell here right now, the temperatures dropped to -18C during the day and to -27C during the night. When I was working on this colorful set in September, that is the weather I had in mind.
These bright colors are perfect to brighten up the white and gray all around us.  The colorwork makes the hat and scarf especially warm and cozy.
Maya is wearing her cowl together with her scarf to keep her little face warm!

The pattern was originally published by Petite Purls as part of their Winter 2011/2012 issue: Hugs and Kisses Winter Set
