Hat

Basic pattern: k2, p2 in alternatio­n, using 6 mm needles.

Cast on 72 sts using the 6mm needles, divide evenly over 4 needles (= 18 st per needle) and join to work in the round.

Work in the basic pattern until the piece measures 28 cm from the cast-on edge.

Begin decreases as follows:

Round 1: work each set of purl st as p2tog = 54 sts.

Round 2: work the 54 sts in pattern.

Round 3: work each set of knit st as k2tog = 36 sts.

Round 4: work 36 sts in pattern.

Round 5: work each set of sts as k2tog = 18 sts.

Round 6: work each set of sts as k2tog = 9 sts.

Pull the remaining stitches together with the working thread.

Finishing:

Fold the edge of the hat over toward the outside.

Scarf

Basic pattern: Garter stitch (in rounds: knit 1 rnd, purl 1 rnd in alternatio­n; in rows: knit all RS and

WS rows), using 6 mm needles.

Note: This yarn has a degradé colour progressio­n. In order to achieve the desired effect, when changing to a new ball of yarn, begin with the same shade in which the previous ball of yarn ended.

Using a piece of waste yarn, cast on 8 sts, divide evenly over 4 needles (= 2 sts per needle) and join to work in the round.

Rnd 1: k8.

Rnd 2: p8.

Rnd 3: *k1, yarn over*, repeat from * to * 8x.

Rnd 4: p16.

Rnd 5: *k1 (mark this st), yarn over, k3, yarn over*, repeat from * to * 4x.

Rnd 6: p24.

Rnd 7: *k1 (mark this st), yarn over, k5, yarn over*, repeat from * to * 4x.

Rnd 8: p32.

Continue working increases as establishe­d until you have 120 sts on your needles. In the following rnd, work the 1st st, then bind off 59 sts. Using the remaining 60 sts + the 1st st, continue working in rows, placing a marker at the centre. In every other following rnd, increase 1 st on each side of the marked st. At the same time, work the last 2 sts of each row as k2tog. The number of sts should always remain the same (alternatin­g between 62 and 61 sts). When you have used up 3 balls of yarn, bind off all sts loosely (you will need approx. 2–3 m of yarn for this).

Finishing

Unravel the waste yarn, draw the working yarn through the live sts and pull snugly.
