Otayski

Otayski plays with a gansey inspired stitch that incorporates POPs of color. Lola chose yarns from two of her favorite women owned companies that are perfectly matched to create a fabric that is warm and light. First, Otayski is worked in the round. Then a flat tab is worked off of each end that is then sewn together to create a modern twist. The twist helps the headband stay on when active, however you wear it. Otayski was designed for March 2022's Lola's Choice!

Kits in SIX colors are available here.
