After completing the horse scarf for my niece, I searched for a hat pattern that could be modified to match. The horse pattern from the scarf seemed to big too put on a hat. While I searched for an option, I kept going back and forth about what color to make the hat.
One day I stumbled upon a hat that was a perfect match. Rosemary Brock had designed a hat that matched the ends of my scarf. Her free pattern and instructions can be found here.
No surprise to my regular readers, I modified the pattern just a little. Instead of following the instructions, I casted on 80 stitches of each color, and worked both sides of the hat simultaneously like I did with the scarf.
I love how it turned out. It is a perfect match for the hat. Yet, it can stand on its own. Here is the complete set. Next week I will share the gloves.
Happy Knitting!
