Fall Fashion Trends: Knit Outerwear Revisited

In August we discussed knit outerwear designs for Fall and before I launch my September Newsletter I want to "wrap up" this discussion! A new knitwear artist has joined Sandrasingh.com, Stephanie Dosen of Tiny Owl Knits, and she has her needles on the pulse of this new favorite garment. Stephanie's outerwear collection has perfectly captured these modern classics, but with some interesting techniques & whimsical twists.

Grimm's Cottage

Warm and cozy Grimm's Cottage is an easy to knit capelet with matching gauntlets. Both capelet and gauntlets are knit in the round with no seaming!

The Forest & Frill shrug is a combination of knit & crochet with cables & lace. As with many of Stephanie's patterns, Forest & Frill is written to customize the fit and includes sizes from small to XXXL.

Forget-Me-Not

Oh My Bear

Love colorwork or have you always wanted to try it? The Oh My Bear sweater will keep you warm with its rounded hood and optional bear ears. The pattern includes a full page color bear graph.

Fawn Poncho

Stephanie's Fawn Poncho is knit top down making it very easy to try on as you go and adjust the size by simply working more, or less, shoulder increases and adjusting the length before binding off. The fawn design is also fully charted.

Woodland Hoodlet

Cables are popular for Fall and these two designs showcase them beautifully. The Woodland Hoodlet is a cozy hoodlet made for picking berries in the woods, or looking fantastic while running your errands! The woodland cables are knit lengthwise in short rows to make a nice curved yoke. The back is knit straight with a cabled border and the hood is picked up afterwards. Knit yours up fast in your favorite super bulky yarn.

Snake-A-Licious Sweater

And you'll adore the Snake-A-Licious Sweater, cables run up and down the front and back and across the yoke.

Parseltongue Hat

Layer it with a long sleeved top, colorful scarf and top your look off with the matching Parseltongue Hat you're ready to stylishly face your day.

Opposite Pole

And designer Joji Locatelli of JOJI has also played with cables this season and her new cardigan Opposite Pole is flattering and a fresh take on a classic. This seamless, A-line shaped cardigan features a reversible shawl collar and set in sleeves, but what gives it a Wow factor are it's bold cables!
