The super-chunky scarf is a seamless infinity loop that can be wrapped twice around the neck to turn into a warm cowl.

The Yarn I Used…
I made the hat using 1 skein of Sirdar Big Softie in grey for the hat.
I made the skein into two balls and knit 2 strands together for the hat.
For the scarf – 3 skeins of super bulky yarn (in grey – I used Hayfield Super Chunky With Wool in shade 0051).
I used 3 strands knit together for the infinity scarf.
