The Winchester scarf and hat combines 2 different stitch patterns that really highlight the textural quality of WATERSHED. It looks like vertical and horizontal ridges or lines are running through the scarf and hat. The scarf starts off with a provisional cast on, knit lengthwise and then grafted together using the kitchener stitch. It will be a warm accessory that can be wrapped once or twice around your neck. The hat is knit from the bottom up. The brim is knit with a Twisted Rib stitch pattern to add extra visual interest and to give the brim a sturdy edge.
