A speedy knit with a beautiful lacy pattern, this cowl and hat set is knit using just two balls of the soft Drops Air yarn, producing a warm and cosy accessory. A perfect gift set.

The name for the set is taken from a variety of the Hydrangea flower, “Zorro”. When I purchased the yarn back in July and brought it home, it struck me how the colour was so like the flower in bloom. The colour and the lacy flowers matched the yarn and the design perfectly.
