Much like the jumper they share their name with, the Hairst Scarf and Cowl are knitted in sections and feature lace details and rib. Two strands of yarn are held together for added warmth and softness.

Hairst is a particularly good accessory to layer during the changing of seasons, and even better, cuddled up under the stars, layered with the Hairst Jumper.

Both the scarf and the large cowl are made working 2 identical pieces, with the live sts on hold, then grafting both pieces together. Yarns A and B are held together throughout.
