Who else is ready for fall? Sure, it's always bittersweet to say goodbye to summer but we are more than ready to embrace the upcoming season.

If your knitting needles have been collecting dust over the summer, we've gathered six gorgeous knitting patterns to rev you up and get your needles clicking again. The best part? They are all free! We've even included all of the supplies you will need to get them done. Time to get knitting!

This is a great pattern for beginners as it is very simple (it only requires two types of stitches) and takes mere minutes to make. We love the laid-back feel of this slouchy style, which is very modern and on trend. You'll want to make this for yourself in several colours, but it also makes a great last minute gift - and no one will know it only took you an hour to complete!

Scarves are a fall staple. Not only do they have the ability to instantly add flare to an otherwise simple outfit, but they are perfect for keeping you warm on chilly days. This chunky, oversized scarf is like a wearable blanket. Despite its large size, it doesn't take long to make when using large knitting needles and thick, textured yarn. Our favorite colours for this scarf? Berry, mustard, cobalt and pearl grey.
