I love patons wool. it is so springy and fun to knit. In this colorway with a hat, double roll brim, stockinette in body, size 7 or 8 needles you get a stiping effect that swirls at an angle lupward. I finished hat with the skein and orderned another one which will finish the second hat and be enough for a third. For quick scarves that are warm and easy I crochet single crochets length wise to the length you want and then single crochet in the back for ribs. easy, simple and makes a nice warm scarf that is quick to make. Love the vibrant colors in this colorway and in all the colors I have for Patons Classic wool.
