This is one of my all-time favorite stitch patterns. It has a bit of a learning curve, but if you can make cluster stitches, you can make these. Please follow the step by step instructions and detailed charts. Once you get the hang of working this beautiful stitch pattern in the round, you can also easily make this into a cowl if you skip the crown shaping and just work the tube even in the round.
