Honestly, one of my favorite things I've ever made. The color is vibrant, but not obnoxious, and the yarn is soft, but not scratchy. The hat has a great stretchy fit, and the scarf is a unique keyhole pattern that wears in an effortless loop. The hat measures about 8" from tip to brim, with an opening that's 9" when relaxed but stretches to 16". The scarf measures about 4" wide by 33" long. I personally would hand-wash this, but you might get away with machine washing on a delicate cycle - probably by itself the first few times in case of color bleeding. Lay flat to dry.
