OCTETTA




I am back from my hiatus and publishing again! First up: Octetta!


OCTETTA

This is a really versatile pattern that can be worked in a yarn weight of your choosing (lace, fingering, DK or worsted) and worn either with the ruffle at the top or at the bottom. It's one pattern you can use for eight different looks. Fall is a transition season, and you will find that you can pair this cowl with just a cardi or pullover just as well as you can with your favorite peacoat, trench or leather jacket. It's dressy enough to keep on inside the office at your workplace and is sure to draw lots of compliments. I chose my colorways inspired by the hues of autumn in New England, where I grew up. The vivid, clear-blue sky; the brilliant reds of the leaves; the yellow of corn ready for harvest; and of course, the muted green of grass ready to go to sleep in anticipation of the upcoming winter. You can brighten up a gray fall day by wearing one of these cozy cowls. The plush texture pattern will keep the chill away, and the ruffle will emphasize your girly side, whether you wear your cowl with the ruffle top or bottom. With this pattern offered in so many weights, fibers and colors, you'll never be at a loss for something fun to knit, whether or not the particular yarns I've chosen are available when you decide to start knitting this. Choose your yarn, find the appropriate version and treat yourself (or a lucky gift recipient) to a wonderful, new accessory.
