The Midnight Dunes Set

When I got my hands on Lion Brand Merino Camel I knew immediately I wanted to make a matching beanie and fingerless mitt set. The super soft and fine yarn was perfect for the Midnight Dunes Set!

The colors reminded me of a nautical east coast chilly beach feel. I asked my followers on Instagram what they thought a good name would be and someone suggested The Midnight Dunes set! A really fitting name in my opinion!

This set is great for an advanced beginner. Maybe you already have the basics down and want to try out something a bit more challenging then scroll on down! You will be doing some color work and fun stitches.

I even made full VIDEO tutorials for both the beanie and the mitts! So if your still new to crocheting you can follow right along! You can find the beanie video here and the mitt video here!

When you reach the 15 Sl St, drop Color A right before you YO and pull through. Pick up Color B and pull it through to complete the stitch. Your working yarn is now Color B. Do not cut Color A. Turn your ribbing correct side out so that the seam is now on the inside of the hat. You will now be working into the side of the rows of the ribbing.

Round 1: Ch 2 (does not count), work 1 Dc into the same space. You will be working your Dc stitches in between the “ridges” of the ribbing. Work 1 Dc into the next 7 spaces in between the ridges.

Cut yarn leaving a tail long enough to sew the top of the hat shut. Using your yarn needle weave the tail of yarn through the front loop only of each St around. Pull tight to close. Turn your hat inside out and use the same tail of yarn to make a couple of knots at the top of your beanie securing it shut. If you are adding a pompom you can also use this same tail of yarn to join. Weave in all ends.
