Matching vs Coordinating
For many years I have striven to make things "match".

I'll see how that works for me and report back.

and the Urban Slouchy Hat Pattern from here.

however, it might "coordinate".
This is the same crochet stitch and edge pattern that I used for
the Diversity Scarf from this post.
Hmmmm...the scarf still didn't feel long enough;
it was missing something.
Insert: Fringe!
(Both yarns were used in these whimsical tassels, without one strand to spare.)
(It doesn't "match" does it?)
Coordinating is easy with
Linda and Ana of the:
But is does coordinate! I hate matchy matchy. Scarf and hat are really nice! :)
