Have you been looking for a pattern to showcase a beautiful skein of variegated yarn? Bright Lines was designed just for that!

Using a simple stitch pattern, Bright Lines uses the contrast between yarns to create the effect of stained glass and lets colorful yarn shine.

Sizes: Child, teen/adult S, adult M/L, adult XL

Yarn selection: Fingering/sock yarn, approximately 28 (31, 35, 39) g/115 (134, 140, 167) yds/100 (114, 128, 143) meters MC and 18 (20, 23, 26) g/72 (80, 92, 112) yds/66 (74, 84, 96) meters CC. The sample was worked in Round Mountain Fibers Spruce Fingering, a 100% merino wool yarn with 400 yards/366 meters per 100 grams in colors Dark Gray and Anthaxia Nitudila. Other wool and wool-blend yarns would work well for this hat.

Needles: US 4/3.5 mm or size to obtain gauge

Questions as you go? My email is in the pattern.

I hope you will post your hat here on Raverly, and I’d love to see it on Instagram, too - be sure to tag me so I see it for sure! Use @softyarndesigns #brightlines
