Have you ever seen a vineyard in the fall? The hearty wooden vines wrapped around their trellises turn the brilliant reds, oranges, and gold of autumn. In Autumn Vines, cables criss-cross ribbed poles, twisting up to a gorgeous sunburst crown! With 4 super stretchy sizes and both written and charted instructions, everyone can follow along!

Finished Circumference: 14 (16.5, 19.5)”/35.5 (42, 49.5) cm
