The Cosmos is October’s birth month flower. They symbolize harmony, balance and order. Their name comes from the Greek word “kosmos” which means “order” or “arrangement”. If you look at the eight delicate petals, they are very neatly ordered. The flower also has a light, spicy scent and they come in many pretty pastel colors.

This double knit square makes a great gift for your friends born in September! If you’re unfamiliar with double knitting, this small potholder is a great way to learn this knitting technique. Both sides are the same, except with reversed colors. You’ll get the accomplishment of finishing a beautiful project and the confidence of adding a new skill to your knitting basket.

With this instantly downloadable PDF pattern, you’ll have all the help you need to get started!
This pattern includes written instructions, a chart, and links to video tutorials for the invisible cast on, invisible bind off, slip stitch edging, and I-cord loop. You’ll end up with a professional looking finished project that you’ll be proud to give as a gift or keep and put on display.
