Inspired by real-life best of friends, this hat and collar set are designed to be made together! Extra bonus-- both the tam and collar combined use just one skein of O-Wool Local!
Knit from the brim to the crown (bottom to the top), The Samantha Tam is a fast knit hat with texture around the brim and strong decreases radiating through the crown.
The Loni Collar is knit from the top down and features more texture and some fun wrap stitches.
