SEPTEMBER EDIT | Highlights + Yarn Guide
It’s a little late but here’s a round up of my favourite new release patterns for September 2023.
I’ve scoured Ravelry and Instagram for the latest releases and distilled my favourites down to a collection of 8 stunning yet very wearable styles.
The comfy cardigans stole the show, but I’m still loving all the opportunity for colour play and texture amongst the featured designs.
As per usual, I want to knit them all!
You’ll find my pattern notes and yarn suggestions below. Each design has its own yarn kit, with sizing and yardage requirements detailed.
Have fun exploring the September Edit.
