We’ve given our Reversible Hat and Reversible Cowl a color update! Dipping into this season’s Line Weight palette, these favorite old projects have brand new personalities: natural and woodsy, timeless and beautiful.

Reversible Hat + Reversible Cowl in New Colors | Purl Soho

Our Reversible Cowl is a free pattern that makes use of Line Weight’s fine gauge to double the layers. We chose colors from our new collection of soft and tweedy Line Weight Heathers: Ginger Orange and Honey Pink. Like hot tea, autumn walks, and pumpkin patches, nothing could be toastier!

Our matching Reversible Hat is just as gorgeous in the classic combination of Wheat Flour and Tabby Gray (also Heather colors). Sized for everyone from babies to men, this pattern has you knit the first hat from the top down, then continue right into the second hat, bottom up. Tuck one inside the other, connect them with a little tassel, wear either side out, and never wish you had another hat!

Yarn lovers, if you adore the yarn used in this project, you’ll love exploring all of our other yarn collections! Discover over 45 thoughtfully designed yarns in nearly every natural fiber and in every spectacular color you can imagine. Only available here at Purl Soho’s online yarn store, where every skein is created with care and your creativity in mind!

We’re so happy that our new Line Weight colors have given us an excuse to revisit these oldies-but-goodies. They’re a wonderful duo that will carry you through winter with warmth and beauty! -Whitney
