Autumn Leaf Cravat Knitting Pattern

Autumn Leaf Cravat  Knitting Pattern by Lavender Hill Knits

“Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the Autumn tree.” ~Emily Bronte~

Fall weather is perfect for a cravat, not quite cold enough for a thick scarf, yet cool enough to need a little something around your neck.  With a pretty leaf at both ends, it is more like a piece of jewelry.  Knit this up in any weight yarn you like, using a thicker yarn will give you a cozier scarf, using lighter weight yarn will give you more of a necklace look.  The two shown were made with worsted weight and aran weight yarn, but any yarn could be used.  It's a great way to use up some left over yarn from other projects!
