Kokomo Yarns Hedy Hat & Cowl Kit by Kelli Slack Designs 8804 Cobh

The Hedy is a whimsical little hat with fun lace patterning details and textures created with increases and decreases. Inspired by the clothes of the 1920's and 1930's in French and American fashion, this close-fitting hat has feminine details while maintaining its functionality and style. Customize your hat by knitting it longer for a slouchy style or keep it shorter for a more cloche-like hat.

The Hedy Cowl is a match for the Hedy Hat and features the same fun lace patterning. While I can't say that the cowl was inspired by the same cloche fit as the hat, I can claim the adorable lace pattern has the feminine details I wanted for this cowl. If you enjoy the lace as much as I do, you can add another repeat of the pattern and make the cowl longer. The pattern repeat also allows for a little extra length if you wish.

This pattern is meant for the adventurous novice and advanced knitter and all those in-between.
