Brick and Mortar – KNIT

These squishy garter stitch pieces work up quickly and look great if you decide to scrap dive and then unite the colors with the mortar color.

The hat is knitted using two colors of DK weight yarn and the mitts are knitted using 4 mini skeins of fingering weight yarn for the “bricks” and just a little over a mini for the “mortar”.
