You’ll love knitting and wearing these seasonal garments and accessories.
The Citywind Cowl is a knit accessory for the minimalist maker on-the-go, and an ode to seasonal urban weather. I knit this in wool ease, a worsted-weight versatile yarn that is made flat on the bias and then seamed, with garter stitch, slip stitch, and I-Cord edging. This seasonal accessory embraces easeful making and quick knitting for a minimal and modern wearable that is perfect for city days amongst the winds.

This is a one size worsted weight pattern, and the gauge is sixteen stitches and twenty rounds for four inches/ten centimeters. Schematics are included in the pattern and the skill level is easy/beginner+.

The Citydream Sweater is a crewneck raglan essential for the minimalist knitter on the-go, and an ode to a popular book series quote “to the stars who listen & the dreams that are answered.” I knit this in Color Theory, an easy-care acrylic worsted weight yarn for wearable seasonal pieces. Knit seamlessly in the round with a folded on-trend neckband, ribbed hem and sleeve edging amid a stockinette body and long sleeves, this garment embraces easeful knitting with approachable yoke shaping and finishing that creates the perfect seasonal sweater for days spent reading, dreaming, and trips around the city.
