Thick-Thin Scarf and Hat Set


This is a very simple garter knit scarf using something called "thick/thin" yarn which is basically exactly what the name implies! It is very thin in places and very thick and fluffy in others. I cast on 20 stitches and knit in garter stitch for about two feet.

For the hat I did 10 rows of knitting after casting on 56 stitches and then 1 row of purl bumps so that it gave the hat a little texture and it didn't curl in on the ends. I followed this so that there are three distinct rows of purl bumps prior to decreasing. The whole set together took me about 15 hours over the course of a few weeks. Simple, warm, and cute!
