Alpine Cozy

$5.00

• 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.

What knitters say about the pattern:

“D loves it and claimed it right away. Great little project. The seaming was easier than I expected.” – Elly

“She loves it —wears it all the time!” – Carrie
