Once that nip creeps into the air, I get the urge to do stranded color work. There’s something about having both hands buried in fluffy softness and watching the pattern magically emerge that is so very satisfying. The Hay Bay patterns feature a classic diamond and chevron motif with delicate falling snow.

Beginning with classic Latvian braid and continuing with a simple two-color pattern, Hay Bay is just challenging enough to keep you engaged. You’ll have a pair in no time working in cozy worsted weight yarn. The thumb is fully fashioned with a gusset and easy shaping makes a for nice rounded top. Choose two favorite colors and get going! You’ll have a pair by Monday.

Be sure to check out the matching HAY BAY HAT pattern!
