It is amazing that simple slipped stitches using 2 contrasting colors can create totally different designs on each side of the work! You only work one color at a time, eliminating the need to carry yarns.

Both pieces (cowl and hat) are worked in the round so finishing is simply burying your ends…hooray!!
