Knit with self-striping yarn, Boublay brings playful color changes to life while keeping the knitting simple and meditative. Boublay starts with just a few stitches at one tip, gradually increasing for a satisfying and straightforward knit. The pattern has a four-row repeat is easily memorized, making it the perfect travel companion for on-the-go knitting. And for a touch of bling? Add optional beads along the border to create a delicate, beaded Boublay edge.
