This hat and cowl are a tribute to the toques and scarves my Nana used to knit for me, as a child. They were a wild mix of patterns and colours, made of scraps of thrift store yarn that were older than me and smelled faintly of Goodwill. This listing includes a PDF of the pattern for both the toque and cowl. The hat will fit the average adult, and the cowl measures 23” around and 13” deep.
