THIS IS A DIGITAL PATTERN FILE, NOT THE ACTUAL KNITTED PIECE!
A simple yet meditative checkerboard-esque pattern. A fun self-striping yarn. A weekend of fiber tourism. Check Your Head is the perfect pattern to work on as you zip from shop to shop, from knitting haven to knitting haven. Find or make a fun pompom for the top to extend the fun.
YARN
For the hat: approximately 100 (115) yards/91 (231) m worsted-weight yarn. I used a superwash worsted-weight yarn, but any worsted-weight yarn would work.
For the cowl: approximately 175 yards/160 m worsted-weight yarn.
