It's my new pattern!! Leaf Hat & Mittens! I was so so excited when I flipped open the magazine to find my pattern taking up a full page:

This being my first pattern in a magazine, you can guess there was much jumping up and down and squeeing. I hope you all like knitting it as much as I liked designing it!

If you have a subscription to Knit Simple, you might already have the magazine. If not, it hits newsstands on December 6th. I hope you'll check it out!
