Hat and scarf / cowl set as seen at Francesca’s.
Hat retailed for $ 24 and cowl for $ 28.

Using super bulky self striping ombré yarn with worsted sparkly yarn, two str held together.
If you work the bulky yarn alone, you will need to use a bigger needle to get guage. Your fabric will be a little looser, but that should be just fine.

Purchased hat was done in a slightly tighter guage than the cowl.

Bind off and stitch seam in preferred method.

Tip:
For a nice side edge finish, slip the first st purlwise, yif, then work the row. Knit the last stitch of every row.
This also creates an edge that lies flat.

Closure option:
Pull out extra yarn before casting on in order to crochet a few rows for buttons. Alternatively, one can knit a few extra rows to start for buttons if desired. Working those in seed stitch is good so the fabric is dense enough to support the buttons.
Crochet or knit buttonhole closure at other end.
Everyone likes cowls with button closure.

Note:
Caron Tea Cakes and Vannas Glamour are two other yarns to work together.
