PDF pattern for Berry ladies stranded hat and matching cowl.

This is a very simple ladies stranded hat and cowl that is quick to knit up and a great beginners set. Knitted using Spindrift by Jamieson of Shetland which is a 2ply jumperweight shetland wool that knits as 4ply. It’s wonderfully warm to wear. No chart is required to knit these pieces as it has a basic two stitch and two row repeat which makes it perfect for a beginner to be able to pick up the technique of stranded colour work. The hat fits an average ladies sized 22 inch head.
I used three colours to create these pieces - black, white and marron

Great set to knit to give as a Christmas gift!
