The Fuzzy Bee WinterSet was born out of this beautiful yarn that I found at Hobby Lobby called Tender Touch (which happens to be on sale today, but dang, they are sold out of a lot of colors, so maybe head to the local store nearby?) This easy crochet winter ensemble will be your new favorite pattern.
I wanted to design a set where each aspect (beanie, hand warmers, cowl) use up 1 skein of yarn!
It worked out perfectly (almost!) , so you will need 4 skeins total. I am absolutely in love with this set. They are created using basic stitches with a beautiful textured striped accent.

A little bit about the yarn…
Hobby Lobby Tender Touch is a bulky (5) weight yarn, and comes in all sorts of colors, including soft blues, pinks, browns & greys.
There are so many to choose from. This yarn has been around for a while and I don’t think it’s going anywhere, but just in case, I will post below some great yarn subs!
Yarn subs…
The best place to check for a yarn substitute is at Yarnsub website here.
A little note about how this pattern is written…
The Beanie:
The brim is worked first, joined, then worked in rounds to top and sewn together. Add a pom pom as you want.
The Hand Warmers:
These are worked in the round, top down, with thumbs added afterwards.
The Cowl:
The cowl is worked flat in rows and buttons attached.

Pattern Notes (Please Read):
- Beanie is constructed by working the brim first, then working in the round, with turns.
- Mittens are worked in the round; thumb is added later.
- See pattern for where to place first st, if not mentioned in pattern, it is made in same as ch.
- Always skip stitch behind front post stitchess, unless otherwise indicated.
- Sizing is written in pattern as follows: (S, M, L, XL)
Tips: You don’t have to work super tight, make sure you meet the gauge. Some of my testers ended up using more yarn than I did, and I’m not super sure why?
Ready? Let’s make it!
