If you use white fleece instead of a scarf and mitten, then you don't have to worry about the knitting coming undone. With the fleece, you just cut your pieces out and sew them together. It will not ravel, run, or fray. You can cut out any shape, no hemming required. You will save yourself a lot of trouble that way. As far as the hat, you could use fleece to make one or buy a knit hat, but fleece would match the scarf. Also, it would be very very toasty (I love fleece). I would think a yard of fleece (and I seriously doubt you would need that much) would be less expensive than buying the hat, scarf, and mittens.

It is a cute pattern, and if you use a non raveling fabric, will be a breeze and also a lot of fun. Fabric that unravels on itself would be enough to send me to the dumpster with the whole project. If you really want to use the knits, you will have to figure a way to keep it from unraveling.

I agree with what temom says, go with fleexe...the aggravation of near impossible control of ravels on knitted material would make me crazy(er).
