October's pattern releases

Two new patterns out this month.
The first was Lace Anemone, a slouchy beret using fingering weight yarn in a pretty eyelet pattern. It knits up really quickly for a treat for yourself or a gift for a friend. Look out for a matching cowl pattern coming soon too.

The second pattern this month was Serpent's Head socks. The name for this one comes from the chart of the stitch pattern. I'd found the pattern in a book of written stitch patterns and charted it myself and as I saw the design taking shape before me I was struck by how much it reminded me of the shape of a snake's head. The socks are worked toe-up with a gusset and short-row heel. The gusset adds the extra room at the instep that short-row heels often lack.
