This handsome hat is knitted in the round with a simple slip stitch pattern. The cowl comes in one size and the hat offers two sizes and two lengths. With 7 colors of Ito Kuroten, 21 different color combinations are possible. Highly contrasting color combinations result in a very graphic effect. Conversely, colors with closer values will produce a softer effect.
