In collaboration with my partner, Woolly Wormhead, I’m designing and publishing a range of accessories to match their unique Hat designs that are well, flat.

Each pattern includes both written and charted instructions, and download links to photographic tutorials to help guide you through the process. These accessories are the perfect project to try some of Woolly’s unique techniques without worrying about shaping or exact fit and gauge!

Within each pattern you’ll find instructions for a Regular Cowl, an Over-Sized Cowl, and a Scarf. Two sizes are provided for each, and given their construction, they’re highly customisable and you’ll find notes included for that. As always, we’ve got you covered!

Little Boxes Compagne is the companion to Woolly’s popular Little Boxes Hat pattern. Featuring mosaic colourwork and worked sideways in panels, this pattern creates an intriguing pattern that’s ideal for solid and semi-solid yarns.
