There’s no such thing as too many ruffles in my world—I’m always dreaming up new ways to frame the neck and face with soft, sculptural folds.

Celosia, named for the vibrant Cockscomb flower it evokes, is my latest exploration of ruffled beauty. Using hyperbolic knitting to create its lush, cascading texture, this design is both soothing and delightfully simple to knit—a perfect project for those moments when your hands want to stay busy but your mind wants to wander.

Wrap Celosia once or twice around your neck to suit your mood, and bring a touch of garden-inspired joy to your winter wardrobe. Let its lively ruffles brighten even the darkest days!
