Cinnamon Sticks Cowl by Michelle Krause
What is Being Made
The Cinnamon Sticks is a one-skein cowl designed by Michelle Krause, a knitted neck accessory that combines twisted ribbing and cable stitches. The design features cables that wind through the cowl, creating a visual effect reminiscent of curled cinnamon bark. This cowl is designed to be thick and warm, making it suitable as a cozy accessory for cooler weather.
Craft and Primary Technique
This is a knitting project classified as intermediate difficulty. The cowl is worked in the round, utilizing a combination of textured stitches to create both visual interest and substantial warmth. The design incorporates twisted ribbing throughout, which adds depth and elasticity to the finished piece.
Stitches and Stitch Techniques Used
The Cinnamon Sticks cowl employs several key knitting techniques:
- Twisted ribbing: Knit stitches worked through the back loop create a twisted effect that forms the foundation of the cowl's texture
- Cable stitches: The pattern features a 3 over 4 right cross cable (3/4 RC), which involves placing stitches on a cable needle, holding them to the back, and crossing them over other stitches to create the distinctive winding cable pattern
- Basic stitches: Knit and purl stitches form the base of the stitch guide, with abbreviations including k tbl (knit through the back loop), p (purl), and standard knitting notation
Materials and Yarn Weight
The Cinnamon Sticks cowl is designed for worsted weight yarn, making it an accessible project for knitters seeking a quick, one-skein accessory. The pattern is versatile and works beautifully with hand-dyed yarns such as Malabrigo Rios, though any worsted weight yarn in your preferred color will produce the intended effect. The worsted weight creates a thick, substantial fabric suitable for warmth and structure.
