AC313 Baikal Hat & Neckwarmer
WEB EXCLUSIVE

"A sophisticated set for winter wear using a simple cable to create interesting texture," reports Dempsey. Absolutely right; this is sleek, chic, composed, and elevates the simplest outfit into couture territory. The hat is knit flat as a strip, the ends are closed with a 3-needle bind-off, and then stitches are picked up from its perimeter and the crown finished in the round. The crown and brim borders are finished with a separate cable turned underneath on itself (like a facing) and bound off so. Neckwarmer is knit flat as you see. This set could be in any winter fashion issue of any posh magazine over the last five decades.
