Autunno (Autumn in Italian) is a multifunctional piece that can be worn as a cowl, an infinity scarf or as a vest.

And it is reversible, too! So it has multiple ways you can wear it.

Autunno is worked in a dynamic two-color brioche pattern that makes the fabric undulate, mimicking the movements of falling leaves blown by the wind. Brioche stitch worked flat is a little complex to handle at first, but has the big pro of having 3 rest rows for every “pattern” row.

This design requires attention, but the result is rewarding!

Size: 8×51″ (20×130 cm).
Size is easily customizable, either using a different yarn weight and needle sizes or working more repeats.
