Pumpkin Spice Hat and Scarf Set

This hat and scarf set is worked up in a lightly variegated orange shade that will match the leaves all around you. The hat is slightly slouchy to provide a cozy fit and the scarf is wide and long enough to be wrapped around your neck. Both pieces are accented by a simple cable that ties the pieces together and makes this set your ideal one for fall.
