le Ghirlande

Sensuous cabled garlands swirl over the surface of this classic scarf and hat set, providing subtle, elegant texture, enhanced by the use of a soft yarn. The beret, in two sizes (S/L), is worked entirely in the round and the scarf is worked flat.
Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size.
