September comes in cold in Colorado and the aspen trees bring everyone up to the mountains as they display beautiful, shimmery golden leaves.

It works up quickly in worsted-weight yarn using a combination of simple mesh and textured stripes, then is finished off with a pointed border that adds a bit of drama.
