Moxy is a beautiful color work pattern that is SO easy, even a brand new knitter can achieve amazing results. The pattern is the result of working one color per row, and using slip stitches - thus alleviating the frustration of “too tight” floats and puckers often seen in traditional fair isle.

Cowl is one size, but can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing stitch and row count. Hat includes two sizes - 19” for older children/teens, and 22” for adults. Hat will stretch 2-4” for comfortable fit.

Note: I used every last inch of yarn from 2 skeins black and 1 skein each in pink and green. All scraps left from knitting hat and cowl were used to make the giant 4” pompom. You may want to purchase a 3rd skein of black yarn to ensure you have enough for both projects. 1 skein of each color is more than enough if knitting just the hat.
