Spicer’s Autumn Leaves Knit Hat Pattern

This is a project I worked on last fall but it seemed too late to share it when it was complete. Now with some cooler temperatures on the horizon, I’m sure many of you are itching to start some fall knitting projects. This hat and scarf set, adorned with a falling leaves lace pattern, is named for one of our favorite local cider mills. The cozy, pumpkin color wool yarn from Cascade pairs nicely with fresh glass of cider and some warm cinnamon doughnuts. Enjoy making the Spicer’s Autumn Leaves Knit Hat Pattern.

The Scarf Pattern can be found HERE.
