The yarn is Red Heart Heat Wave in the color Swim Shorts. This is a new heat generating yarn that is sunlight activated, even on cloudy days. It warms up by 12 degrees Fahrenheit or 66 Celsius. This amazing yarn is available in the latest colors that are so popular right now.
I found this at my local Joann’s, they had a big display of it in all the colors! It was so hard to choose, but I chose Swim Shorts for my main headband. I also bought one in the color Seaweed. It’s like an avocado green, so pretty too!

I’m so excited to be participating in the 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop again with Maria from Pattern Paradise! I decided on an easy make this year, something to give out as gifts, sell at a craft fair, or simply make for yourself! The stitches are close together, but not completely solid. But that is why I chose the hdc st for the x-stitches, to keep them smaller with less holes. I hope you love it and enjoy the pattern. Once you’ve completed your project, don’t forget to enter the giveaway sponsored by Yarnspirations!
