“Tree motifs and classic cables dappled with shadow rib texture make this hat and cowl a fun wintry set—a nod to the Tree of Life and other traditional Aran stitch patterns. The larger the pom-pom for the top of the hat, the better.” – Leila Raven

CONSTRUCTION

• Hat is worked in the round from brim to crown, beginning with Long-Tail Cast On.
• Cowl begins with a provisional cast on for the Center Section and is worked in the round. The stitches of the final round are left live. Knitted-on borders are attached to live stitches at the top and bottom edges.
