Rainchaser

This pattern is available to purchase from Ravelry(goes to new website)(opens in a new tab)

Rainchaser uses a deceptively simple mosaic pattern where only one color is worked at any given point to create an illusion of stranded knitting. Three colors are used for a gentle ombre effect.

The pattern includes both the hat and the cowl.
