A wonderful, versatile accessory set of hat and neck warmer is worked in 2-color brioche ribbing, which allows for such fun combinations of color and reversible texture. This cozy, quick-to-knit hat is worked from the brim to the crown in the round and available in two styles - with a little bow detail or simple I-cord trim - both included in the pattern. There is no top or bottom, no right or wrong side with this neckpiece. It is first worked in the round then back and forth to create an opening which provides a fit that lays flat against your shoulder or can be folded around the neck. It is a great project for using up extra fiber or leftovers and a great way to start colorwork.
