Something that would be fun for both a ...

This hat is for knitters who do not like to use circular or double pointed needles. Two colors are used for the design, although the hat could also be made using one color. The hat is knit flat with the top seam joined using a 3-needle bind off. Then the side seam is sewn. Tassels can be added from leftover yarn.

The pattern only has 2 rows so it is easily memorized. The color sequence can easily be changed from the color block design in the pattern. The scarf also works in a single color. It can be lengthened, if desired. There was enough of the Camel Hair to add about 30 rows in the middle section.

Two colors of Berroco Vintage Chunky are needed to work the design, but there is enough in two skeins to complete both the hat and scarf with optional pompom on the hat. Or alternatively, the two skeins would make two hats, switching the Main Color and the Change Color. Approximately the same amount of yarn is needed in each color.

The two-row pattern keeps repeating for the whole shawl so you can make it as large as you want or vary the use of two or more colors for different effects.
