Add Some Boho Texture to Your Fall Look

I love cardigans for layering this time of year — sometimes on top of other sweaters! — and the Boho Texture Cardigan from Annie Lupton is a great layering piece with lots of fun texture to knit.

It’s worked from the top down with the shawl collar attached, and is meant to be worn open with two to six inches of positive ease. It’s available in 10 sizes from 36 to 72 inches.

The cardigan can also be paired with her Boho Texture Banadana, which uses the same stitch patterns on a triangular cowl. It’s worked from the bottom up flat for the lower part of the triangle, then worked in the round for the top.

The sweater pattern is $8 and you can buy on her website or Ravlery, and the cowl is $7 also on her site or Ravelry.

I can’t resist a pattern that’s both useful and a little silly, and that’s exactly how I feel about the Rybka pouch pattern from the delightfully named Rat and Sea Witch.

I know you’re going to ask, because I did, too. Rybka means little fish in Polish. (And because you’re also probably going to ask, Rat and Sea Witch comes from people’s attempts to say the designer’s name, Ratasiewicz, which if you say it fast kind of sounds like rat and sea witch.)

It’s easy to make a little fish bag in different sizes to suit your needs. The pattern has specific instructions for an Airpods Pro case and a pencil case, but you could change the length easily to hold more stuff, and change the size in general by working with a different weight of yarn.

The pattern calls for sock yarn and mohair held together to make a fingering weight gauge, but you could try it with heavier yarn and see what size bag you end up with.

Whatever size you make it, this looks like a fun project for holding trinkets or everyday items. The mouth of the fish is the mouth of the bag, and it closes with a drawstring that is also the strap. I wonder, too, if you could make one of these with a small clasp frame that could be the fish’s mouth and then you could just work I cord straps that would attach to the sides of the fish.

I could also see stripes, or fish of different colors to use up your yarn leftovers. How about a sunglasses case with a little loop to attach to your bag? Once you start thinking about all the ways you could use a fish-shaped bag in your life, I think you’ll see that you probably need more than one.

If you make one of these I would love to know how it went!

You can grab a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.
