Free Pattern: One-Skein Falling Leaves Scarf

September 17, 2012 by Sarah White

falling leaves scarf sweater babeIf you’re starting to feel a chill in the air where you live (I’ve got veggies roasting for my first pot of soup of the season as I write this!) and you want to knit up a quick scarf to celebrate, check out the Sweater Babe’s free pattern of the month.

This one-skein Falling Leaves Scarf is worked in bulky yarn and has tapered ends that look leaf-like. A loop to pull one end through makes this easy to wear and a snuggly warm piece you’ll want to wear this season and beyond.

For the free pattern, click on the link to the PDF on the page above. This pattern regularly sells for $5 and is available for free through the end of September.

Knit a Hat with a Flock of Chickens

It’s well known (among knitters, anyway) that knitters seem to love chickens as a motif and a subject of our knitting projects. The Emotional Support Chicken and all the other chicken knitting patterns are just the beginning of our devotion to farmyard friends. 

For example, there’s Farmer Dennis’ Chicken Hat. This free pattern from Stacy Black is a simple worsted weight beanie sized for adults and decorate with a couple of little rounds of colorwork fences and a flock of chickens strutting around the body of the hat. 

You don’t need a lot of any of the colors for the chickens, their facial features or the fences, so this is a great project for using little leftover bits from other projects. The main color for the body of the hat is less than a skein using the yarn suggested, so you might just have everything you need in your house to start stitching up this hat right away. 

The colorwork is presented as a chart, with a 16 stitch section that repeats around the body of the hat. All the color changes are shown on the chart but I think it would be easier to knit the whole chicken in the chicken color and add the eye, beak and other features using duplicate stitch when the knitting is done. That way you don’t have to carry those yarns around the whole hat for just a few stitches. 

As the name suggests, the original hat was given to a farmer who shared their eggs, but anyone who raises chickens or just has a thing for the fowl is sure to love this cute hat. It wouldn’t be too difficult for someone new to stranded knitting or reading charts to make, either, so if that’s you, give it a try. 

The pattern is available for free on Ravelry.
