Monkey Bread Hat and Scarf

Deliciously deep, soft cables fold and twist coyly around this hat and scarf in two sizes (S/L), making the most of a light, airy luxury yarn. The hat is worked entirely in the round while the scarf is worked flat in simple cables that are easy on the hand and eye (options for straight or infinity scarf included).
