The Clayton Hat and Scarf are comfy, all gender accessories that are fast and fun to knit! The hat comes in two fit options: beanie and slouch. It is worked in the round from the bottom up with a 1x1 twisted rib hat band and a slipped garter stitch rib pattern. The scarf is worked flat with a matching stitch pattern and i-cord edging. Both pieces are fully reversible with an attractive pattern on the wrong side, and also easily customizable to suit the knitter’s size and style preferences.
