A Christmas gift for you! 50% off through Dec 31, 2023!!

Christmas is such a fun, and sometimes stressful, time for knitters! So many wonderful Christmas yarns make their way into the yarn shops. I wanted a hat and matching cowl that would show off the beautiful colors of the season, use only ONE SKEIN, and be a great thing to make as a gift, or to keep! But it had to be a quick, easy pattern because let’s face it, we all have too many projects on the needles and they all need to be done quickly! With its cute lace section that reminded me of little Christmas trees and an easy to memorize repeat, this set fit the bill perfectly! I hope you find it as enjoyable as I did!

Notes/Tips:
1. Both patterns are done seamlessly, in the round.

1. Written and charted instructions are included so you can choose which way you prefer to work the pattern.

2. Use of stitch markers are optional, but I find it helpful to identify the placement of the chart section on the hat and where the repeats are on the cowl.

3. For a slouchier fit on the hat or cowl you can go up a needle size. And/or add another repeat of the chart on the hat before starting decreases. This will affect yardage.
