Notes:

• Color combinations are referred to using color letters, e.g., AA is two strands of A, AB is one strand of A and one strand of B held together.

• Knit in loose ends as you work to avoid having many ends to weave in during finishing.

• Both scarf and hat will appear smaller than indicated dimensions, but will block readily to dimensions. Usually hat ribbing would be knit with a smaller needle; however, since this yarn is less elastic than a 100% wool yarn, the ribbing is worked with the same size needle as the hat, with the desired elasticity and secure fit provided by threading Rainbow Elastic through the ribbing.
