Rhinebeck Hat

Experience the stunning colors of autumn with our Rhinebeck Leaf-Inspired Wristlets, crafted in honor of the breathtaking leaves found at the Rhinebeck Sheep & Wool Festival each October. These stylish wristlets can be worn alone or beautifully paired with the Rhinebeck Wristers, making them a versatile addition to your fall accessory collection!

These lovely wristlets are intricately worked in the round, showcasing vibrant colors that reflect the season's charm. Throughout the pattern, the charts are designed for round knitting, and it's crucial to read all chart rows from right to left to ensure precision in your project.

The charts utilize Fair Isle knitting techniques, adding depth and texture to your wristlets. As you knit, carry the unused color loosely on the wrong side of your work and remember to secure long floats every 4-6 stitches where necessary. When working with large sections of one color, be sure to stagger the floats for an evenly distributed fabric—this will enhance both the look and feel of your finished piece.

For this project, you'll need one ball each of Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash, a luxurious 100% superwash wool (3.5oz/100g, 220yd/200m). Choose #822 Pumpkin (Color A) for a vibrant orange and #888 Sage (Color B) for a soft, subtle green that beautifully embodies the essence of fall.

As for your tools, you will need size 6 US (4mm) 16”/40cm long circular needles, or a size that allows you to obtain the specified gauge. Additionally, a set of 4 double-pointed needles in size 6 US (4mm) is recommended for those final touches. Don’t forget to gather your notions, including 6 stitch markers to keep your work organized and efficient!

Create a timeless piece that captures the spirit of autumn with these stunning Rhinebeck Leaf-Inspired Wristlets. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or someone special, this pattern is sure to become a cherished favorite for years to come!
