The Rust & Rhythm Bonnet is a narrow scarf with a hood attached, which provides extra warmth for your neck and ears.

First, you knit a narrow scarf, which combines a 1 x 3 garter stitch rib with the intarsia technique to create small graphical shapes. You follow a simple 2-row repeat pattern to create the garter stitch rib, while at the same time following a colour chart for the intarsia shapes.

Then you knit a hood, choosing one of the two sizes, and finally attach the hood to the scarf when binding off the stitches – of course you can also knit the scarf without the hood!

Additionally, the pattern includes step-by-step instructions for the intarsia join, and a trick to hide any floats that occur when a motif changes shape and you need to carry the yarn backwards or forwards.
