Emberly is a hat originally designed in collaboration with Earl Grey Fiber Co. for the August 2020 installment of the Indie Untangled Where We Knit Yarn Club. With its flame-like cables and columns of simple lace that resemble sparks flickering up to the night sky, this hat captures the mood of end-of-summer evenings, which involve spending time outdoors in the company of good friends and family, often around a campfire—and knitting, of course!
