Meet the Dexter hat and cowl! This charming set is as fun to knit as it is to wear. Knit in a cozy Aran weight yarn, this graphic colorwork hat simply flies off the needles. And, how about a plan for those leftovers? The Dexter cowl is just the ticket. The slipped stitch chunky rib, stripes, and just the right amount of marling add up to a piece that’s fabulous paired with the Dexter hat, or all on its own!
