Vareigations Hat & Cowl

This delightful knitting pattern set includes a variety of stitches that will keep you engaged! Perfectly designed to be worked with variegated yarn, the hat and cowl combination creates a striking visual effect that will brighten up any winter wardrobe. Complete the cozy set in just a day or two using worsted weight yarn, making it an ideal weekend project. You won’t find yourself bored as you swiftly knit this stylish set, utilizing techniques like the brioche stitch and a charming mini broomstick lace stitch for the cowl, complemented by classic ribbing for the hat.

The detailed directions are provided solely in written form, allowing knitters of all skill levels to follow along easily. Both the hat and cowl are seamed for a polished finish. Thanks to the stretchy nature of the stitches, this set offers plenty of room to accommodate various head sizes comfortably. The cowl fits snugly around the neck but can easily be adapted if you prefer a loose-fitting neck warmer that drapes beautifully.

For your reference, the hat measures approximately 17” (43cm) around and 8.5” (20cm) high, while the cowl measures about 18” (45cm) around and 8” (22cm) high. This makes both pieces versatile and functional for everyday wear.

When it comes to materials, you'll need about 244 yards (223m) of variegated worsted weight yarn. Our samples were knitted using 1 skein of the delightful Red Heart Super yarn in the now-discontinued color—Rambling Rose; however, many other stunning variegated colors are available as perfect substitutes. The yarn is made of 100% acrylic, with each 5oz (141g) skein offering 244yds (223m) of quality fiber.

To get started, you’ll need the right knitting needles and other essential supplies. This cozy hat and cowl set is a fantastic addition to your winter collection, perfect for gifting or treating yourself. Join the community of enthusiastic knitters by making this beautiful set today!
