Is it a hat? Is it a cowl? It’s both!

Either/Or is a versatile accessory which can be worn as a hat closed with a button strap, as an open tube hat, or as a cowl with the button strap dangling loose from the button or removed altogether. Choose contrasting colors to set off the stranded color pattern, or go for a more subtle look with similar shades.

Either/Or is worked in the round, and the small earflaps are shaped using short rows. A simple and portable project which offers a nice mix of relaxing stockinette and interesting shaping and colorwork.
