I often find myself in drafty places: I live on a lake not far from the Alps, where cold winds are common. Cold winds for me call for a warm hat to keep my ideas from freezing. Stranded hats provide for warmth and for that bit of color in a foggy day.

This pattern reminds me of white sails on Viking ships and the sun in a cloudy sky above them.

The motif is quite simple and suitable also as first stranded project.
