Happy birthday, October babies! 

The October Cosmos colourway is inspired by your birth flower. While these delicate blooms are typically a soft pink, I wanted to create something with a bit more edge. I've paired pale pink with pops of acid yellow, deep blue, and fuchsia to create a more modern take on this traditional birth flower.

I knit these socks with 3x1 ribbing, and used extra pink from the opposite end of the skein for the heel. 

October Cosmos are the ninth in our year of birth flower yarn, based on the flowers traditionally associated with each month. 

Striping Patterns

 

Round Trip Designed with two matching halves—perfect for projects like socks, mittens, or sleeves where you want identical results. One 100 g skein of fingering weight is enough for an average-size pair of women's socks. For longer or wider socks, choose the 150 g size.

One-Way Trip A long, non-repeating color sequence. Great for hats, cowls, or scarves—ideal when you want a journey through color from start to finish. For a Musselburgh Hat, 100 g of Trifecta or MCN is enough for a size L hat but you will need 150 g if you'd like a wide, folded brim. 4-Ply has more yardage so 100 g is enough to make a folded brim. 

Shawl Yarn Specially dyed for top-down triangular shawls. Each stripe is the same width from beginning to end, with no ends to weave in. 100 g of fingering weight is enough for a small shawlette. 150 g gives a more generous size.

Sweater Yarn  Designed for garments like baby sweaters. The stripes appear only on the yoke, and the rest is a coordinating solid color—no switching yarns or breaking the flow.
