This pattern is named after the pigment that produces some of the beautiful colours of autumn leaves. It takes inspiration from the change to colder days and longer nights. The pattern uses silk and mohair yarn to create an airy lace pattern that is surprisingly warm and perfect for autumnal and winter days.
The cowl knits up quickly and so is great as a weekend knitting project or as a last-minute present!
