For this Friday’s free hat pattern, we present a GYI-exclusive: the Lazy Cable Hat. I designed it for our Berroco Coco, a super-bulky merino wool yarn that’s incredibly light, soft, and fun to knit. What makes it “lazy”? It has only 3 cable crossings, so it’s a simple and quick one-skein project. We hope you’ll enjoy it!
It’s particularly nice timing that tomorrow is Small Business Saturday. In addition to our Storewide Sale (you’ll save 15% on everything in the store on Saturday, November 30) offering the Lazy Cable Hat as a free pattern is another way we can thank you for your support throughout the year. The creative community that has grown up around GYI enlivens and inspires us every day. Or, as we say in hashtags, #shopsmall #shoplocal #shopyourlys #makewhatyoulove #lovewhatyoumake

Another new arrival this week: Baggu bags in a variety of designs and sizes. The new Baby Baggus and the Standard Baggus are perfect for project totes. Stash a few in your car as reusable shopping bags, and don’t forget to give them as gifts.
