ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Sugar Plum Cowl features basic decreases and yarn overs to evoke the gentle sweep and shape of sugar plums or the sugar plum fairy costumes in The Nutcracker. Lace repeat written and charted. This pattern was originally published in Interweave Knits Gifts 2020 magazine. The rights have reverted back to me, so I’m now free to rework and publish the pattern!
