Choose three of my designs, and pay only for two! Make sure to put all three patterns in your shopping basket before you check out.

Cozying in Brioche - is a classic and elegant winter duet (hat and shawl/scarf), knitted in brioche pattern. Always in fashion, brioche has voluminous and cuddly fabric texture, perfect for hats and scarves, which offers extra comfort and warmness.
The basic brioche is a combinations of a slipped stitch and yarn over which are purled together on the return row.
This Brioche pattern is a result of adding extra stitches at the beginning and the end of each repeat and the same time compensating them by decrease in the middle of the repeat. From the knitter it would require a little extra attention, but it would be payed off by the result.
The shawl could be folded longways and it instantly becomes a scarf.
The suggested yarn is Admiral Starke 6 by Shoppel. It is sport weight of 75% superwash wool and 25% nylon. It is, simply, admirable! Soft and pleasant to the skin. Thanks to its perfect twist in the spinning process, this yarn gives great expression of the pattern. Like any of the yarns offered by Hikoo, Admiral will charm you by its high quality.
Sueno - is another option for this project. DK or worsted weight - the choice depends on the preference of the knitter.
