Perfect for fast gift knitting, the Astra hat comes in four sizes and the matching cowl is easily adjusted for a custom fit. Choose contrasting colours, create a gradient or bold variation with speckles or solids, or have some fun and use up your favourite DK leftovers
for the slip-stitch two-colour section. Team up this enjoyable pattern with the matching Astra mitts for a cosy, co-ordinating set that the whole family will love.
