Autumn in New York Autumn is my absolute favorite season and one motif that reminds me of the beauty of New York during this time of year is the acorn. The smooth and rough textures of this small natural treasure give the acorn its charm, and when | came across this stitch pattern, I instantly envisioned it into a hat design. The stitch pattern might seem a bit daunting as every row is different but it isn't as hard as it looks. Autumn in New York is a warm, stylish, and quick knit \~I hope you enjoy it!
