The West Coast Wave Socks and Stocking Hat work well in a superwash wool blend. The wave has a fun lace pattern, and the socks or stocking hat can be knit in just a few days making them the perfect gift or accessory. The hat is a great beginner project, but the socks may be considered an intermediate level pattern because knowledge of sock (and stitch) construction is helpful.

A spelling error has come to my attention in the materials list. I have corrected that, and taken this opportunity to update the heel set up. Thank you, Marilynn
