Friday Freebie Quickie!

    With the holidays fast approaching lots of folks are looking for quick gift ideas (not me, but other folks, I understand! LOL!). When I was browsing through free patterns online I saw this stranded colorwork hat and passed over it. Funny, though, how it stuck in my mind and I went back to it. Something about it was just so "ordinary" yet appealing. I could picture it knit in 100% alpaca in ecru and any color and it would become a much loved classic, worn out over time from being worn so much. The color repeat is so short you could memorize it by the third round and knit it while watching TV or a movie or take it to knit night and chat with friends. It's "comfort food" in the knitting world!
                         
It's called the Swift River Hat and it's from Lion Brand. I have to say I like their free patterns! Cheers all!
