Basic Hat & Mitten Set for Men 273 Knitting Pure & Simple

Basic Hat & Mitten Set for Men is a knitting pattern by Diane Soucy for Knitting Pure & Simple (#273) for a hemmed hat or an earflap hat, with sturdy mittens to match.

Everything is knit in the round apart from the earflaps, and the only sewing is on the hemmed hat. You can work 1×1 ribbing instead of the hem without changing the stitch count.
