Trendy Knits - Hat And Asymmetrical Scarf

This "color-scheme" from Lion Brand is perfect
for my asymmetrical cowl and hat
For impatient knitters here is a quick project. In a couple of hours you can have this very trendy asymmetrical cowl and in another couple of hours, you can have a cool, matching hat to go with it. The hat will look great on men and women - you just need to choose the right color and you have a unisex pattern. No matter who you will knit either just a hat or both the hat and the cowl for, the person will look fashion forward. It will keep the person warm when snowflakes are coming down or when it is just cold outside.

Use any super bulky (#6) yarn, choose a color to match your loved one's personality and you have a winner.

Note: Most of the time I work as fast as I can to keep up with knitting and crocheting requests. I have to videotape, edit videos, then convert them & upload them to my channel. After that often I post on my blog patterns. I answer many questions, which means that often I work up to 16 hours a day. I would tremendously appreciate IF anyone of you who finds an error in the written pattern, so please, let me know - where (what rows) and what may be the problem. Many future knitters & crocheters from our artsy and crafty virtual world will thank you for your good deed, including myself.
