My favorite time of year is nearly here: fall! Imagine fields filled with plump, orange pumpkins. Apple and pear trees stuffed with fresh fruit ripe for the picking. Homes smelling like hot apple cider— that unique mix of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove that brings back so many fall memories. But of course, this isn’t all the season has to offer. Along with comforting, seasonal spices and trees transforming into shades of gold and red, is an opportunity to knit, knit, knit!
Whether it’s brand new sweaters, a cozy poncho, or getting a head start on knit gifts (think hats and scarves), fall presents a fresh opportunity to break out your favorite yarn and get started on some fresh and exciting designs that are perfect for cooler weather.
So let’s dive in! The Wrap up the Warmth section is where you’ll find some of my favorite fall designs, including our gorgeous cover project, the Alyssum Wrap, in a rich burnt orange with delicate lace details. If you’ve been waiting for a chance to jump on the leopard print trend, look no further than this issue. The Spotted Around Scarf and Hat set features a unique animal-inspired pattern that’ll look incredible paired with your favorite jean jacket.
Packed with new hats, new and snuggly scarves, gorgeous wraps and more, this issue will have you ready (and excited) for the start of a new season.
Happy knitting,
