About the Madeleine Hat
I’ve been naming my patterns for baked goods for a while, now, but usually the connection between the name and the pattern is a little more obscure. This one is really simple: the columns of cables reminded me of madeleines. That’s it. Now I’m feeling quite hungry, so instead of belaboring the point, I’ll leave you to it. Happy stitching!

About the Madeleine Mitts
These lightweight mitts are intended to be companions for the Madeleine Hat, and depending on the size you make of each, you will probably have enough yarn in a single skein of sock-weight yarn to make both the hat and the mitts. It’s a great way to show off a special skein of yarn and make sure you use up as much as possible.
