Go Chiefs! Hat and Scarf

This warm knit hat and scarf is done in the KC Chiefs colors. The yellow is an 70% acryllic/30% wool blend, and the red yarn is wool for extra warmth.

The hat is a 2x2 rib with the red portion long enough to cuff for extra warmth, as shown in the photo. The scarf is knit flat in seed stitch. Seed stitch is so dense that I loosened it up by using larger needles.

1 skein bright yellow worsted weight yarn
1 skein bright red-orange worsted weight yarn

Size 8, 16-inch circluar needle (hat)
Size 8 double-pointed needles (hat)
Size 10 circular needle (scarf)
