This project includes a surprise for the wearer: it can be worn as a hat or a cowl! The convertible nature of this winter warmer stretches the wearing opportunities, which is always a wonderful feature in a knitted item.
2-1 Hot Cocoa Hat and Cowl is a marvelously simple knit, just 22 rows with super bulky yarn! It’s the perfect gift for the teens in your life.
The key to the versatility of this hat/cowl is the drawstring. To wear Hot Cocoa as a hat, simply pull the cord and tie it in a bow. This closes one of the openings and makes Hot Cocoa into a hat shape. The bow adds a cute designer touch, too. If you prefer a cowl, just leave the cord relaxed and pull it over your head! You can also tighten the cord just a little to give it a gathered look.
So quick and easy, this nifty knit is a must-make for holiday knitting. Make up a rainbow of colors and give one to each of the teens on your list. They’ll love making it their own, simply by tightening or loosening the drawstring. This is a particularly unisex cowl-hat combo, just use neutral colors and guys will love the Hot Cocoa, too; who wouldn’t?
The 2-1 Hot Cocoa Hat and Cowl pattern includes:
- A list of necessary yarn and tools
- Row-by-row instructions
- Pattern notes to show you how to convert from cowl to hat
- Detailed photography
Simple stitch patterns provide plenty of texture, which adds to the fashion statement of this project. A section of garter stitch is set off with ribbing on both ends. You can knit this project flat or in the round; if you knit it in the round, though, remember to knit and purl the center rounds so you get garter stitch and not stockinette stitch!
This handy hat-cowl combo is great for deep winter wear—you’ll stay toasty however you choose to wear the 2-1 Hot Cocoa Hat and Cowl.
