Notes From the Designer, Jane Vanselous:

•For knitters who are looking to expand their skills, I think that cables are a great technique to learn. Simply a way to rearrange the order in which stitches are worked, cables provide a big impact without needing to work any difficult stitches. When the cables are comprised of reversible stitch patterns, very interesting effects may be achieved on both sides of the piece.

•Contains both written and charted directions.

•This unisex pattern provides instructions for 4 pieces: a hat, cowl, scarf and fingerless gloves. Choose one, or make them all. Great for any adult or teen on your gift giving list!

They are all two sided, providing very different looks when you reverse them. I hope you enjoy both knitting and wearing them!
