Matching Hat and Mitts

GENERAL INFORMATION
This cowl is worked in the round using two contrasting colours of yarn. This simple but effective stitch pattern lends a texture and bounce to the cowl. The colours and bubbly nature of the pattern remind me of Pyrite, but of course the cowl is much softer! If you have not worked the bubble stitch before there is a photo tutorial and a link to a video to show you how. The cowl is easily adjusted. The circumference can be adjusted by adding or removing multiples of 4 sts. The height can be adjusted by working more or fewer repeats of Rounds 1-6 in the Cowl main section.

MATERIALS
Yarn:
Recommended yarn: Malabrigo Rios worsted weight yarn 192 m / 210yds / 100g.
MC (ochre): 127 m / 139 yds worsted weight yarn:
Shown in Malabrigo Rios 192 m / 210 yds / 100 g colour Frank Ochre.
CC (grey): 115 m / 126 yds. worsted weight yarn:
Shown in Malabrigo Rios 192 m / 210 yds / 100 g colour Niebla.

Yarn choice: It is important to have a good contrast (light vs dark in very different colours) between the MC and CC. Resist the temptation to buy two yarns that complement each other because they share colours in common as the pattern will be quickly lost.

4.0 mm (US 6) needle(s) (main needle) or size required to obtain gauge in pattern.
