First Hint of Autumn

**First Hint of Autumn** Can you feel it? The temperature has dropped 20° and the trees are just beginning to turn. What?! Already? Suddenly, we’re thinking of things like favorite apple recipes and pumpkin spice everything, seasonal art fairs and boutiques, hearty soups and stews and, of course, knitting warm, wooly things for everyone! It’s not here yet, but it’s close. The first hint has arrived. Have fun with this easy-going worsted weight knit cowl pattern. It’s a good project for social knitting, too. Enjoy! **Materials** One skein of Berroco Vellina (65% Superwash Wool/20% Nylon/15% Cotton) 234 yards. Featured is color: #5012 Dreamscape. Size 8 (5mm) circular knitting needles, in 24" length. Stitch marker. Yarn needle. Gauge measures 4 stitches/inch and 6 rounds/inch and is not critical. The cowl measures approximately 24" in circumference at the neck, 28” at the bottom x 9" deep. Any worsted yarn will work in this pattern. Thank you to Ginny, Barbara and Andrea for modeling and all of their support and kindness. Thank you Ginny for test knitting.
