From the Designer:

Conifer pine trees are one of the oldest plant genera on Earth. Their pinecones symbolize enlightenment and remind me of my childhood when we would gather armloads full, coat them in peanut butter then roll them in bird seed, leaving this treat out for the birds during the snowy winters. The delightfully squishy hat and cowl set are both knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up with elegant corrugated ribbed trim. Stranded colorwork makes a double-thick, extra-warm fabric, and the traditional Norwegian shaping of the hat ensures a comfortable, unisex fit.

One skein of each color is enough yarn to make both the hat and the cowl.
