Circular Reference
Circular reference (“Kehäpäätelmä”) hat and cowl are worked in spiraling two-color brioche. The pattern is enhanced by switching the main color and contrast color for each panel. Use high contrast in colors for a more visible pattern or less contrast for a subtle effect. Make the hat first, and you can adjust the size of the cowl according to how much yarn you have left.
Finished measurements: Cowl S (L) 20 cm/8” tall, approx. 52 (60) cm/20 ½ (24)” around. Hat S (L) circumference 45 (52) cm/18 (20 ½)” for a head circumference of 54 (57) cm/21 (22 ½)”, 20 (25) cm/8 (10)” tall.
Yarn: DK weight yarn in two colors (pictured: ONION knit Tussah silk (colorways 208, 209), 150 (200) m / 165 (220) yds each = 300 (400) m / 330 (440) yds total. (Cowl 85 + 85 (115 + 115) m / 95 + 95 (125 + 125) yds, Hat 65 + 65 (85 + 85) m / 70 + 70 (95 + 95) yds)
