Nothing is more relaxing than sitting on the back porch with a mug of hot coffee and a simple knitting project in hand, watching leaves fall, and enjoying the autumn weather. The Autumn Weaves Beanie pattern is perfect for such an afternoon!

This design features an eye-catching texture that is an ideal showcase for any solid or variegated yarn of your choice. The fabric is thick, squishy, and warm: perfect for those chilly fall nights! It will make wonderful stock for handmade markets or great gifts for anyone on your list; and with three sizing options, you can even make matching sets for the whole family. This pattern is perfect for the beginning knitter who is comfortable working with circular needles.

Materials

• Approximately 125 (165, 200) yds of worsted weight (4) yarn. I used hand-dyed yarn from Essence of Autumn on her Heather Worsted base in the colorway “Cobblestones of Scotland.” She is my favorite dyer of all time! If you haven’t treated yourself to her yarn yet, you should. :slightly_smiling_face:

• US size 7 (4.5mm) 16” circular knitting needles

• US size 7 (4.5mm) double-pointed needles (optional)

• Faux fur pom pom (optional) - I get mine from BrennaAnnHandmade on Etsy!

• Common notions, such as stitch markers, measuring tape, yarn needle, scissors
