If you’re looking for a super warm accessory set that is easy to care for, the Burdock Hat and Scarf set is just the thing for those chilly winter months! Both the hat and scarf are designed to be completely reversible and show off Scandinavian thistles as well as fana-inspired motifs. The scarf is cast on like a toe-up sock and is worked in the round with an optional afterthought pocked that can be worked at either end. The hat is worked from the brim up and started with a provisional cast on to allow for a second layer to be easily picked up and knit in the other direction to create. Not only does this create a wonderfully reversible hat, but the double layers will keep you twice as warm! A fun project for experienced knitters and a wonderful introduction to knitters new to colorwork, the Burdock Hat and Scarf set is sure to keep you cozy warm all winter long.
