Alpine Cozy
• Aran weight • Beginner friendly •
Hiking from inn to inn through the Swiss Alps one summer, I was under-provisioned: not enough woolen accessories! (It’s colder in the mountains, who knew? ) This is just what I needed: Easy switching between a hat and a neck warmer.
Keep the Alpine Cozy’s drawstring loose to wear it as a neck warmer; tighten it up to make it a hat! Stick your ponytail out or cinch the hat closed tight - so many options!
Why you will love this pattern:
Aran weight yarn creates coziness without too much bulk
The detailed, straightforward pattern is appropriate for a beginner, or a quick knit for someone more experienced.
No crochet experience required: Instructions for making the crochet tie are included (it’s easy!).
The pattern includes child and adult sizing.
