In looking at recent additions to the fashion accessory scene, some of the newest entries are great-looking slouchy hats and big, wonderful oversized super scarfs. Hats with extra slouch have a bit more comfort added--and definitely more style. The bigger scarfs have been seen on the New York runways and at higher priced retail collections. They are the next wave of coziness to enjoy wrapping around our necks. I’ve collected some of our latest hat and scarf designs so they would be easy for you to view. When you find what you’d like to make, just click on the photos for the free knit and crochet patterns.
