Inspired by the changing leaves of fall, the autumn scene beanie is both a stylish and fun accessory. Featuring very basic colorwork, it is an ideal project for anyone looking to try out fair isle for the first time. And better still, with a motif that has no long sections of a single colour, the need to worry about constantly catching floats is completely eliminated.
Have fun trying out all sorts of fun colour combinations. With a project like this that whips up in under two hours, the sky’s the limit.
