Check Check Hats and Cowl (F173)
Crafted in our superbulky-weight yarn, Franca, the classic checkerboard pattern is knit in high contrast Batik (black with teal speckles) and Party (white with confetti sprinkles). The checkerboard pattern is explored on three different accessories: a tall, wards-off-the-chill cowl; a cozy beanie that covers the ears; and a skullcap that is fits snugly on the head and lets the ears out!
Note about yarn usage: One skein each of MC and CC is enough to make hat and cowl if MC and CC are inverted for second piece. 2 sk MC and 1 sk CC are needed to make both a hat and cowl if MC stays the same!

LOVE this pattern! Have already made 2 and thinking about trying it as the start of a top down pullover. An idea for a new pattern!
Haven't started knitting yet but I love the pattern, very clear to follow
I decided to go with Wisp of Warmth over other patterns because I liked the edges and the fact that I could make it as wide or long as I wanted. The instructions are clear even for a novice. The wyif got me at first, but when I took it row by row, all became apparent with the result of a lovely edge. I used a fine wool yarn & it is very warm even though it is narrow and a single time around my neck. Highly recommend it. Great use of stash. Thanks for free pattern.
I love the final result with this pattern... a warm and attractive poncho-like effect.i used a changing color wool so it has a lovely three color play between the colors. The knitting isn't was not terribly interesting or difficult so that wirings for beginners.
