Choose from Garter version (in blue) or Garter/Stockinette version.

Use 2 skeins of Silky Twist or 2 skeins of Merino Cloud (held double) to make this cowl and hat set.
2 sks Silky Twist (shown in A: S4 (blue) and B: 1021) Blue/Multi Garter version sufficient for both hat and cowl

OR 2 sks Merino Cloud held double (shown in A: 715 and B: 2220) RIGHT photo Maroon/Peach Stockinette/Garter version
Sufficient for both hat and cowl.

The unusual construction is modular, and this makes for a fun and interesting knit. The cowl on the diagonal stays upright and does not flatten or collapse.

Both pieces start with a triangle knitted flat in rows, then joined in the round.
