I finally finished the matching hat, mittens, and scarf set for my husband! All are made out of Green Mountain Spinnery Mountain Mohair in Alpine Shadow. He wanted a Marsan Watchcap for the hat; however, after getting the hat mostly done he did not like the way the hat folded at the brim. So, upon further questioning I discover the part he liked was the swirling top! "Oh, I can do that," I exclaimed. The swirling is caused by the decreases to the crown of the hat. So, I modified the pattern to have the knit 2, purl 2 ribbing he wanted and then did the decreases in order to create the swirl.
The mittens are a Knitting Pure and Simple pattern. The Scarf is just a knit 2, purl 2. I did not block the scarf as he wanted the stretchy look.
