Northern Splendor Hat

I used about 1/2 skein for hat and cowl.

Rnd 1: Ch 3, 9 dc in ring, join with sl st in space between ch and first st.

Rnd 2: Ch 3, 2 dc in space between each dc around, join with sl st to first ch 3.

Rnd 8: Ch 3, dc in next st and in each st around.

Repeat rnds 7 and 8, 5 times total rows from start are 15.
I did a crab stitch row to complete just for a nice edging which is a single crochet from right instead of left.


Northern Splendor Cowl


Red Heart Ombre (and colour)

I used about 1/2 ball for my hat and cowl.

Size 6.00 mm crochet hook

Stitches Used: Very easy pattern, dc, sc and ch.

Ch 33.

Row 1: Dc in third ch from hk, dc in each ch across. Ch 1, turn. 

Row 2: Sc in first dc, in same dc 2 dc. *Skip 2 dc then sc, dc, dc in next dc*. Repeat * to * to end. Ch 3, turn.

Row 3: Dc in each dc to end. Ch 1, turn.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until 50 rows completed. Bind off and sew ends together.

If you would like a thicker cowl just add more stitches to initial ch and if you would like it longer add more rows. This pattern can be used for a scarf also just add a lot more rows and do not sew together.
