Like the changing seasons, the color trends shift from year to year within the world of yarn, as within the fashion world. What was big last year might be a thing of the past this fall. And though opinions on what is trending may vary slightly from one source to the next, they pretty much land in the same ball park.
Dad’s Drop-Stitch Throw
Within that proverbial ball park the consensus is that the new color palettes are more muted, shimmery and iridescent, with softer earth tones.
Autumn Aran Afghan
That bodes well for afghan knitting projects. With free throw knitting patterns and a bit of online yarn shopping, you can be well on your way to a gorgeous fall throw in no time.
Pattern Meets Color
Autumn Lace Lap Warmer
Choosing the right colors for any given blanket pattern can catapult a project from good to great. Taking a pattern like the delicate Autumn Lace lap warmer and a choosing a hushed tone from a collection like Berroco® Captiva™ Yarn ensures that you are keeping up with the current fall color trends whether you are bundled up in it at the big football game or relaxing with a good book in the back yard. While it’s fun to keep up what’s ”in” though, it is most important that a yarn color and a free throw knitting pattern reflect your true personality and that of your home. If it is to be a gift for someone, try to capture their essence as well.
