The Harmony of Autumn
You can read more here about how this pattern came to be, and also find a copy of the free written pattern.
Inspired by the rich, harmonious colours of fall that evoke so many happy memories for me, this design is a journey through time and texture. The magic begins with a stunning Sunburst flower motif, radiating warmth, just like the golden memories of my childhood family meals. As you work in the round, classic granny stitch rounds are interspersed with airy, colourful V-stitches, creating a mesmerizing and comforting combination of textures and colours. The final border, reminiscent of deciduous trees bedecked with autumn leaves, adds a poetic touch that transforms your table into a piece of storytelling.
In addition to the written pattern for the table topper, the paid version of this pattern, available here on Ravelry, includes:
- Definitions of all the abbreviations used in the written pattern
 - Detailed pattern notes that outline written steps for how to complete all the special stitches
 - Links to YouTube videos that demonstrate many of the techniques included in the pattern
 - A charted pattern
 - An additional pattern for the matching Autumn Harmony coasters
 - Video tutorials demonstrating each round of the pattern. There are currently being recorded - if you purchase the pattern via Ravelry then I will easily be able to update you as soon as these videos are published!
 
To complete the Table Topper you’ll need:
- Approximately 250 yards of worsted weight or Aran yarn
 - 5.5 mm hook
 - Locking stitch markers
 - Yarn needle
 - T-pins and a blocking surface
 
Depending on your gauge, your table topper will measure 17.5” square after blocking. I made it larger than I wanted, so I could felt it. After felting, the table topper measured 16” square.
