New year, new pattern! Now that the holidays are finished, indulge in a little selfish knitting.

Aylin (pronounced ‘EYElin’) is a name with Turkish origins meaning “halo around the moon”.

Clean, geometric half circles (or halos) form the main pattern for this striking cowl and matching hat. The stranded colorwork uses only 2 colors and a simple 12-st/12-rnd repeat, making it great for anyone new to fair isle.
