Notes

General
ETA 4 January 2019: The hat is too short to cover my ears properly. Have frogged and used the Sabiduria for this hat.

Hat 71g (Sabiduria 36, Sunset 35). Cowl 100g (Sabiduria 53, Sunset 50).

I’m making both the hat and the cowl. Hat using 4mm needles for ribbing and 4.5 for colourwork. Cowl 4.5 for ribbing and 5 for colourwork.

Love working with the yarn. It’s so soft and squishy and bouncy. Hopefully it will wear well too.

TCKAL cast-on post: #439

Using Grumperina's method for cabling without a cable needle.

Mods
- cowl mirrored start and finish ribbings.
