Autumn seems to come on in waves. First the crisp mornings hint at what is to come but they give way to the warmer days that remind us Summer has yet to loose his hold. Next the leaves begin to change as the trees adorn themselves in golds and reds while we too change and begin to crave the heavier fruits of the harvest such as pumpkin and warm apple dishes. Finally, we let go of Summer’s grasp completely. As the trees drop their leaves and reach their naked branches to welcome the geese flying over, we turn inwards, light candles and snuggle in our hand crafted garments. Light and airy, the Autumn Waves Wrap is designed to be a staple through all the beautiful phases of autumn.

The arts of crochet and knitting are often discussed in competition with one another. Britt of KnotBadBritt and Sönna of SunDaughterKnits strive to unite them and highlight their similarities while honoring their differences. To do this, we created the the Sisters Not Twins series, a collection of projects that will include a knit and crochet version of each pattern. Our third set in this series is an airy wrap featuring the gloriously soft Smohair by Less Traveled Yarns.
