DOUBLE SEED HAT & COWL

Knit Simple Winter 2011/12 #17 and #18
Design by Sarah Jo Burch

Double seed stitch lends rich texture to this cowl and hat duo. The double-seed-stitch sections are worked flat and then seamed; the stockinette sections that form the cowl and the top of the hat are picked up and knit in the round. The custom fabric is created by knitting with one strand of each yarn held together throughout.
