Fall is here, and for Southern Ontario, that means apple orchards, pumpkin patches, and changing leaves on the Maple trees! I love this time of year so much. The mornings that start cool and crisp, and give way to warm and sunny afternoons.
I designed the Maple Hills Cowl with the colour of Fall, a beautiful and rich burgundy! This free crochet pattern is made with Premier Yarns Anti Pilling, a superior anti-pilling yarn that I love. This line has a vast range of colors and an ultra soft texture!
