Ogee Hat and Scarf

$12 CAD

Undulating ribbing flows over a field of garter stitch, with twisted stitches adding depth and texture as well as knitting interest. The fabric lies flat naturally, making a neat all-over scarf pattern and a cozy air-trapping hat. A cheery fringe and just the right amount of slouch make these the wearable winter accessories you’ll reach for every day.

Substitution Notes

The original yarn is a DK weight superwash wool that works up at 5.5 sts per inch (2.5 cm) on 3.75 mm (US 5) needles. Choose a similar weight yarn in a fibre that’s comfortable to wear. Animal fibre blends will provide the best warmth. A smooth, solid-coloured yarn will show off the stitch pattern to best advantage.
