Cassia is a girl’s name of Greek origin meaning “cinnamon.” And if cinnamon is the perfect spice for fall, this project is the perfect accessory. Knit in a combination of 2×2 rib, broken rib and mock cables, this stretchy hat fits a wide range of sizes making it ideal for both guys and gals. Plus, its longer brim allows for the perfect fit: simply fold it higher for a snugger fit or shorter for a more relaxed look.

Inspired by modern strip quilt patterns, this poncho is worked in stockinette stitch and intarsia colorwork to create a bold and dramatic garment. The poncho evokes a more casual feel when it’s worn traditionally with the point in front. Worn reversed with the draped edge at the neck, the drama intensifies. The poncho is worked flat, overlapped and stitched together.
