You know fall is coming when the beanie patterns start coming out in earnest. I enjoy the summer (especially since I’m a teacher and have summer off!), but I really love fall. I created the Cumulus Slouch to wear in the cooler months.

We went on vacation in March of this year to Gatlinburg, TN – one of our favorite family destinations. While we were there we visited the Smoky Mountain Spinnery (my new favorite thing is to visit a LYS in the area when we are on vacation and pick up a yarn to create something I can wear to remember the trip!).

I fell in love with this Cumulus Dappled from Juniper Moon Farms. It’s 100% Israeli Cotton and it is heavenly. I picked up a skein each of two colorways and wish they had more in this color because I would have bought it all!

I decided to create a slouchy hat since the skein had generous yardage and I wanted to show of the color changes. I made this hat and a cabled headband from a single skein!

      Hi Marsha,

      I don’t believe your comment yesterday ever went through. I moderate all the comments and didn’t see anything. It’s rare that I ever delete a comment and I know I didn’t delete any yesterday. For the blog hop, there is a big blue “Download” button on this post that will only be up through the rest of the day today. It was also up yesterday, somehow you must have overlooked it. Have a wonderful day!
