The hat is knit in the round from the top down, with a little extra length for a floppy toque. The neckwarmer is knit from one skein and tucks into the top of a jacket, or pattern repeats can be added for extra length. (Hint: hat uses less than a skein of yarn – use the remainder to add length to the neckwarmer.)
Bonus – circular scarf!
After test-driving the set one cold and windy day, I realized that I needed a scarf that could be “untied” without blowing off. Herewith, a circular scarf that loops twice around the neck for warmth, but can be unlooped for ventilation without getting lost!
This set is named for Vancouver's local cross-country ski area.
