Plaid Hair Day
Introducing a vibrant and playful hat and cowl set that is not only fun to knit but also quick to complete using aran weight yarn. This delightful set is worked in the round, featuring an engaging design of colorful stripes. For added flair, vertical lines are incorporated using either a crochet hook or the technique of duplicate stitch afterwards. The cowl is constructed as a straightforward tube, ensuring ease of knitting, while the hat, which requires no crown shaping, is finished with a simple yet effective 3-needle bind off. If you prefer, you can also opt for Kitchener stitch for a seamless finish. To top off this charming ensemble, consider adding tassels or pom-poms for an extra touch of whimsy!
