Epiphyte

Introducing the Epiphyte Hat and Cowl Set—an adorable and stylish matching accessory crafted for knitters of all skill levels! This cozy set features an easy-to-follow 3-stitch cable pattern that creates a charming texture and aesthetic. The cowl is designed to be knitted in the round, ensuring the intricate pattern wraps all around for a beautiful finish. Plus, the addition of I-cord on the edges gives this piece a polished look while providing extra durability.

The hat pattern is thoughtfully adapted to highlight the cable design in specific parts, making it a delightful complement to the cowl. Quick decreases are skillfully employed to shape the crown, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. The double brim adds an extra layer of warmth, perfect for chilly days. Sizes available for the cowl include a circumference of 21 inches (53.5 cm), while the hat comes in three sizes: 1 (2, 3) to fit head circumferences of 20.5 inches (52 cm), 21.5 inches (54.5 cm), and 22.5 inches (57 cm). Remember, the hat pattern includes a 1 inch (2.5 cm) negative ease for the perfect snugness!

Techniques you'll master while creating this set include knitting, cabling, and slipping stitches in both the cowl and hat patterns. The cowl also features an I-cord cast on (3 sts) and I-cord bind off (3 sts), while the hat introduces techniques such as K2 tog, provisional cast on, and a 3-needle bind off. This project is not only fun but also an excellent way to expand your knitting skills.
