The hats couldn't be easier - you start in a corner and increase each side till it's 12" long, then decrease one side and keep increasing on the other till the longest side is 17" long, then decrease both sides till you have 3 stitches, then pick up stitches on a long side and do three rows, knitting 2 together, and pull the yarn through the remaining stitches and sew up the short sides.
The leftovers of the blue mohair (from a 210m ball of Kidsilk Spray, wonderfully light and hopefully warm) made a narrow scarfy-thing with a hole in one end to pull the other through, also on the diagonal.
The painted yarn made a long scarf in garter stitch and a shorter one in rib, out of a 100g hank from Touch Yarns. Getting the colours to line up called for some creative tensioning!
