Rushmore Hat & Cowl Set
The Rushmore Hat and Cowl Set includes two beautifully crafted knitting patterns designed to bring warmth and style to your winter wardrobe. The first pattern features a slightly slouched hat that begins with a cozy rolled brim and culminates at the crown. Detailed directions are provided for creating this one-color hat to ensure a successful finish. The second component of this set is the stylish cowl, which is knit in the round and includes instructions for both one-color and two-color variations. The cowl’s unique stitch pattern incorporates stripes of stockinette and reverse stockinette, which are expertly gathered using a simple pleating method, resulting in a complex and visually appealing design. For your convenience, the pattern comes with a comprehensive photo tutorial that guides you through the pleating process step-by-step.
MEASUREMENTS for the cowl are 24”/61cm in circumference and 8”/20.3 cm in height, making it the perfect accessory for any outfit. The hat is designed to fit an average adult head comfortably. The recommended GAUGE is 23 stitches and 28 rows, which equals 4”/10cm in stockinette stitch when unblocked. This ensures that your finished pieces will fit just right!
YARN USED for this set is the luxurious Madelinetosh Pashmina, though any sport weight yarn will suit the patterns perfectly. For the cowl, you will need 1 skein of the Mineral (MC) colorway if you wish to create a solid cowl, or opt for 1 skein of Vermillion (MC) and 1 skein of Venetian (CC) for a stunning two-color cowl. The approximate yardage required is 305 yards for the solid cowl and 105 yards for the MC and 200 yards for the CC in the two-color version. For the hat, simply 1 skein of Mineral is required, with an approximate yardage usage of 275 yards.
This Rushmore Hat and Cowl set is not only a delightful challenge for knitters of all skill levels but also serves as a perfect gift for friends and loved ones. Embrace your creativity and keep warm this season by tackling these engaging knitting patterns!
