Three delicious shades of Ard-Thir combine to create this cozy and rich hat and cowl set. The combination of colors and fiber have us
dreaming of a lazy afternoon with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and a chocolate treat.

The cowl is knit from the top down, and includes increases for a nicely draped piece. The hat begins with optional earflaps and continues up to the crown. The stitch pattern uses slipped stitches to combine colors, and only one color is used per round/row, making this a great first colorwork project! Slip all stitches purlwise.

This pattern is available exclusively with the Jimmy Beans Wool Coffee & Chocolate Bouquet!
