This hat with its bold zig zag lines coordinates with either the Flowing River or Confluence Cowls.

This cozy worsted weight hat is knit holding two fingering weight yarns together throughout. It starts with a stretchy tubular cast on and is knit in the round throughout.

This hat is a part of a Flowing Marls e-book that teaches the Fission Knitting technique. The Flowing River Hat/Cowl are the easiest knits in the set and you will learn 2 new cable stitches. The second cowl, Tranquil Waters Cowl teaches 2 more cables stitches. For the third cowl, Confluence Cowl, you will layer the motifs from the first two cowls on top of teach other to create a reversible cabled design. There is a lot of cabling in these patterns; some experience with cables is helpful but not required. Fission Knitting Tutorials of the cable stitches are provided.

Marianated Yarns Practicality has the ideal construction for Fission Knitting & yardage generous enough to make both a cowl & hat from 2 skeins . Marianated Yarns has put together some great colour combinations for these projects.
