Fiber Dreams' Cluster cowl beautifully coordinates with her Flourette fingerless mitts!  The cluster stitch is often used in Estonian knitting to add texture to delicate lace designs. Here it’s used instead with bulky yarn, a simple Estonian border, and an i-cord bind off making the warm and cozy Cluster cowl. Knit in the round with a shift at the end of most rows ensures there’s no visible seam, at the same time making the pattern easier to memorize.

A floret is a small flower, or one of the small flowers in a cluster.  Fiber Dreams prefers the old English spelling, “flourette,” which is a diminutive of the word flur, meaning flower.  The Flourette mitts are worked in the round. They start with a delicately waving edge that moves into a field of flower clusters. Both hand and thumb end with an i-cord bind off.
