Autumn officially starts next week and we couldn’t be more excited to dive back into crafting gorgeous garments and accessories. September is the most exciting time of the year, when all the new patterns debut and “castonitis” is at an all time high. Whether you knit or crochet, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite new looks for this season! 

Cozy Autumn Sweaters

One of our favourite traditions is to knit or crochet ourselves a new sweater for the winter months ahead. And with so many new patterns to choose from, it’s hard to narrow it down to just a few choices! 

For the knitters: Choose from a cardigan that evokes wandering in a meadow, or have a little fun with colourwork. A cozy turtleneck is a classic choice and this year we’re seeing more patterns for men too! 

For the crocheters: Got a lot of scraps in your stash? Turn them into a fabulous sweater! Or get cozy with a zip-up pullover with lots of texture.

Fun Fall Shawls

Shawls make great accessories to an outfit, and add lots of warmth on those chilly days. Plus they’re just plain fun to make!

For the knitters: This season you’ve got your choice of cables, squishy garter stitch, lace or mosaic (slip-stitch) patterning. 

For the crocheters: Grab your hooks and hop aboard the granny stripes train – so hot this year! Looking for something soothing? How about a one-row repeat with a fun border!

Accessories and More

Chilly days call for warm, woolies! Whether that’s hats, mits, socks, or cowls, we’ve got you covered. And we couldn’t resist including a pretty pillow to add some autumn touches to your coziest spot at home!

For our knitters: A colourwork beanie with optional ear flaps? Yes please! Or a quick set of wristers that make a wonderful gift. And don’t forget the toes – they’d love some wooly warmth too.

For our crocheters: Cozy, squishy socks are perfect for cuddling up on the couch with a good book. Or whip up a quick cowl to keep the chill off your neck. And oh that gorgeous pillow!
