The multicolored scarve is a simple 2x2 rib pattern using two strands of worsted yarn - solid brown and varigated terry.

The fine fur and lace yarn was generously donated by The Yarn Shop and More in Overland Park, KS

Linda's 3 Small Hats

Just 3 simple knit hats, all small, all different, made with leftover yarn.

Linda's Green Beanie and Linenlook Scarf

This knit beanie and scarf were made from the green brushed look Plymouth Encore. The scarf is done in the linen stitch so its very soft and smooth on one side and bumpy like the seed stitch on the other side. I used a size 9 needle on the scarf to loosen it up a bit.

Size: Med Large
Time: Hat 2-3 hrs, scarf 10 hrs


Linda's Remember the '20 Hat and Scarf

The hat is a simple spiral crochet hat with a bit of a scalloped edge done at the end, and I added a crocheted rosette. This scarf is rows of single crochet.

Materials
1 1/2 sk Plymouth Encore
Size H crochet hook

Size: Large
Time: 8 hrs

Linda's Leftovers Hat and Scarf

This is was made using up the remnants of two different yarns. The blue striping yarn has brown speckles that match to the hat.

The hat was crocheted and the scarf was knit in the seed stitch. The scarf is short and would work well under the coat.
