I’ve always been a “B-side” person ever since I was a little girl with a collection of 45 RPM records, Over the years, I came to realize many of the B-sides of those 45s, just like the wrong sides of knit and crochet stitch patterns, weren’t to be overlooked. I was pleasantly surprised to find this to be so when working up the swatch for this complementary Scarf and Hat set. On one side flickering colors of Meteor Showers and the other side soft undulating chromatic waves of Fire Rainbows.

Using an Overlay Mosaic Crochet technique with a simple 6-stitch/4-row repeat, the pieces worked up in no time in this easy-to-memorize pattern; Every other row is worked in Single Crochet Through the Back Loop only. This side-to-side quick-to-crochet combo set is absolutely perfect for gift giving with minimal finishing only two seams in the hat. The anticipation of colors changing as the pattern develops makes for hard to put down projects.
