Golden sunlight, golden fields, a slight chill in the air as autumn arrives; all are reflected in Harvest Moon. Worked from the bottom up with a wavy lace edge, Harvest Moon is just what you want to wear when the leaves start to turn.

Pattern includes both written and charted instructions. This pattern has been professionally tech edited by Katherine Vaughan and test knit.

Many thanks to my friend, test knitter, and model Jenny (cavitybug on Ravelry). Pictures were taken beside a cornfield in West Chester, Ohio.
