Lorah Hat & Cowl by Ambah O'Brien | Named after the German word for the laurel tree, Lorah Hat and Cowl feature a modern colourwork motif that is reminiscent of a forest fading into a field of flowers. Available in three hat sizes with a matching cowl, the pattern offers a satisfying knit as the set grows quickly on your needles and culminates in topping the hat with a colorful pom-pom. Choose two contrasting skeins of DK yarn or make a stylish ombre version by pairing a solid color with a favorite gradient set for a unique accessory.
