New Release: Sugar Plum Cowl

The Sugar Plum Cowl (Ravelry link) pattern is now live! If you don’t use Ravelry, here is the link to the Sugar Plum Cowl at Tallgrass Knitting (my Etsy shop). This pattern was originally published in Interweave Knits Gifts 2020 magazine. The rights have released back to me, so I’m now free to rework and publish the pattern!

The Sugar Plum Cowl features basic decreases and yarn overs to evoke the gentle sweep and shape of sugar plum candy or the sugar plum fairy costumes in The Nutcracker.

The Sugar Plum Cowl is worked in a 6-stitch pattern repeat. Knit in the round the diagonal lines form unbroken spirals.

While I was working on pattern updates, I actually tried making traditional sugar plums with dried fruit, walnuts and spices following this recipe and video….mostly. My sugar plums turned out ok, but no where near as great as I had imagined. So, I decided to try putting my mix in a simple quick/sweet bread recipe. We named it Sugar Plum Bread and it was tasty!

The Sugar Plum Cowl pattern is available on Ravelry, LoveKnitting and Tallgrass Knitting (my Etsy shop).
