This fun and cozy hat and cowl set is a great accessory to keep you and your little ones warm in the cold weather.

The fair isle chart is a pretty simple repeated pattern, so it is a fairly quick project to knit up. I included both written and chart instructions for the hat decrease rounds, just to make things a little clearer. Otherwise, the bulk of the project is read on the chart.

Don’t be afraid to get a little creative and use a contrasting color for the pom pom or a store bought fur pom. Or, no pom pom at all!
