What to stash this week: A Rhinebeck tradition

Mary of Lyrical Knits — one of those friends I can’t wait to see in New York this weekend! — has a new Rhinebeck tradition of releasing a fun hat pattern in collaboration with Miss Babs.

If you’ve knit Mary’s Killer Queen Cowl or pullover, you’ll recognize the stitch. Mary designed it especially for Babs’s 2023 Rhinebeck colorway,…

Her appropriately named Incredible Ibis is available to preorder from Indie Untangled through Friday, December 23, to ship at the end of January….
