Big Mad Hat and Cowl
Meet our newest evolution of Combo Fibers - BIG MAD BALLS! Like Combo Fibers and regular Mad Balls, each ball is made up of many different fibers, but these balls are double stranded worsted weight - and lots of luxury fibers! Merino, cashmere, silk, cotton, linen - such good stuff in these balls! They change randomly as you work creating gorgeous projects like those you see here. The THREE FREE patterns come free with the BIG Mad Balls.
The Big Mad Ball Hat and Cowl set is the perfect quick holiday gift! It knits up so fast - and each set is unique. The cowl can be made much bigger (I ran out of time and had to bind off) or you could easily make 2 hats and a cowl out of each Big Mad Ball!
Big Mad Balls also come with this pattern + 2 more for free!
