This hat and cowl set uses super bulky wool and big needles to make them both quick and easy projects. The bobbles and the silvery grey color of the wool made me think of snowballs, and this set would be the perfect thing to wear while playing in the snow! The wool and alpaca blend is sure to keep your head and neck warm through the windiest and snowiest of winters.
The hat is worked from the bottom up with simple decreases at the top. The cowl is worked in the round from the bottom edge to the top, and uses Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchly Bind Off to keep the bind off edge stretchy.
