When the world outside turns cold and white, there’s nothing better than bundling up in something handmade. Inspired by cozy snow days with noses pressed to frosty windows, the hush of freshly falling snow, and the laughter of playing outside until your cheeks glow, this pattern celebrates the simple joys of winter.

This cheerful hat and cowl set features classic snowflake motifs worked in stranded colorwork in the round. The cowl is grafted together seamlessly for extra coziness and no visible wrong side, with the hat also worked in the round and topped with an optional faux fur pom pom. The best part? The whole set takes just 2 skeins of each color!
