This hat and cowl set uses a simple slip-stitch pattern to create a sense of motion, while the color fade evokes the light on the water. This set will delight you both when knitting and when wearing it.

The hat and cowl are knit in the round from the bottom up using a Wonderland SplitShades Blossom cake. One end of the cake has a soft fade of color, while the other has a contrasting solid. Both pieces begin with the solid contrast color (Color A) for the ribbing, then pull from both ends of the cake to work the slip-stitch pattern. The cowl ends with the contrast color ribbing.
