Sophie's Half Wobbly Hat and Scarf - Free Pattern | Tw-In Stitches

Every year, my homeroom advisory draws names for Secret Snowflakes.  A few years ago, I made an infinity scarf for Grace and shared that pattern with you. This year, I drew Sophie's name and since her favorite color is purple (like mine!), I decided to make her a hat and an infinity scarf.  It needed to be something quick, so I bought 3 skeins of Lion Brand Hometown Super Bulky yarn and hoped for the best! The result is a toasty warm and gorgeous combination!


Both the scarf and the pattern use the wobbly DC2TOG method of V stitches.  I made both in just under 3 hours using super bulky yarn and an N (10 mm) hook. I hope you like these two designs!
