Your next act of handmade courage:

Fall I wanna do is knit some fun
I got a feeling—the cast-on has just begun.
Fall I wanna do is knit some fun
I wonʼt tell you that youʼll knit only one.
Fall I wanna do is knit some fun
Until the crown cinches down and a pompom adds to the charm.

Fall I Wanna Do knits more fun into your cool-weather wardrobe. This cozy beanie features alternating leaves that dance around the body of the hat. Add a pompom for a playful flourish or keep it classic without. Wear it with the Fall Night Long cowl and Fall Me Maybe mitts to top off a coordinated fall look that rustles up a little fun wherever you go.
My apologies to Sheryl Crowʼs “All I Wanna Do.” Youʼre welcome for the earworm!

Fall for Me Collection
Autumn brings cooler days, colorful leaves, and for me, the perfect excuse to get punny with pattern names. The Fall for Me collection celebrates everything we love about the season: cozy textures, leafy motifs, and a sense of fun that carries through every stitch.
Fall Night Long kicks things off with a cowl full of rhythmic stitches and superstar vibes. Fall Me Maybe mitts let your fingers flirt with your keyboard or needles. And Fall I Wanna Do caps off the collection with a beanie full of dancing leaves. Knit one, knit two, or knit the whole harmonious trio and let your stitches sing their way through the season.

Be bold. Be brave. Begin!
