I’ve already talked a bit this season about fall trends in the context of using big, bulky yarn. Here’s another look at trends for the season based on the scarves and cowls worn by celebrities.
You’ll see here, too, that big is in, as well as detailed stitch patterns and a touch of tweed. This article from Lion Brand Yarn is fun because it shares patterns you can stitch up now to take advantage of these trends.
The Split Leaf Cowl from Plymouth Yarns (via Noble Knits) is a pattern that’s come across my screen recently that features bulky yarn and great details. It’s a quick, one-skein project that will have you warm in style in no time.
Another perennial trend that’s still around this season is animal print. Here’s one where the yarn makes a big difference. The Safari Scarf and Hat from Tahki Yarns use a faux fur yarn called Sherpa that gives the look of animal print in a super-warm set.
Are you knitting anything trendy this season? I’ve been doing lots with bulky yarn, because the first cold day sends me into a frenzy of wanting new knit things. I’d love to hear what you’re working on!
I’ll never again knit anything to match what a celeb is wearing! That time I ran into You-Know-Who, the Pop Diva, and she was SOOOOO jealous of my Red Carpet Gown, handknit from strips of bacon – well, it was just TOOOO embarrassing.
