String Quartet

(in which four fun accessories are created with two sticks and some string)

String Quartet is a set of four designs, two hats and two scarves. Mix and match, or wear all four at once!

All designs feature a picot cast on for pretty edges. The brimmed hat is knit in the round with two strands of yarn held together for a thicker fabric. The lace cap can be worn on its own, or pulled over the brimmed hat for a decorative look. The long scarf can be doubled up to wrap around the neck for extra thickness, warmth and style, while the jabot scarf features a slit which allows one end of the scarf to be threaded through to fasten it. Recommended for Intermediate knitters.
