A. Opie Designs - Vandiver Hat and Cowl Kit
The Vandiver Cowl and Hat kit draws inspiration from the geometric triangles and vibrant colors of a quilt. Featuring color blocks of two contrasting shades, the half-square triangles are rotated and reflected to create a playful twist on the classic “flying geese” pattern. Using six colors, you can either complement or contrast them to achieve a shadow striping effect. The cowl is knitted in a tube and seamed together, this cozy neck warmer not only showcases stunning stranded color work but also cleverly hides the floats within the cowl.

Yardage Information
Gauge is extremely important for all of our patterns. The yardage for yarn included in our knitting kits is based on the amount of yarn required to make the sample plus an additional 15%.
If your row and/or stitch gauge is larger than what is listed on the pattern, you may not have enough yarn to complete your project. If you require more yarn, additional yarn is available at the regular per skein cost and will be shipped to you free of charge.
