This is a small cowl, quick to make, and warm to wear. People will be baffled at how it is done. It is a great project to show off some hand painted yarn in a bulky weight.

In both the band and the main part of the hat, the yarn is doubled. But both the main color and the contrast are sport weight, so the hat is still fairly soft. You need equal amounts (170 yards) of each color and you can choose to knit the body of the hat with either the solid color or the handpaint. Quite a nice hat.

The pattern calls for 225 yards of the main color and 37 yards of the contrast color to do both the hat and mittens.

In the main color, the first two sizes call for 6 skeins, then 7, the next two for 8 and the last for 9, at 150 yards each.
