Bâtonnage

Bâtonnage is the artful technique of stirring grape solids after fermentation, a process that enhances the flavor profile of new wine and adds a stabilizing element to the final product. Inspired by this elegant winemaking process, our cozy cowl and boot toppers feature a unique swirling pattern that beautifully mimics the motion of a paddle gliding through a vat of freshly created wine.

These enchanting accessories are not only functional but also serve as fashionable statements for colder weather. The leg warmers come in two sizes: a 12.5-inch calf and a 14.5-inch calf, ensuring a comfortable fit for various body types. The cowl, designed to be one-size-fits-all, offers versatile styling options to suit your wardrobe.

To create this chic ensemble, you'll need a few essential knitting skills: cast on (CO), knit (k), purl (p), work in the round, yarn over (YO), slip slip knit (ssk), knit two together (k2tog), slip (sl), pass slipped stitch over (psso), perform a 3-needle bind-off, and standard bind-off (BO). Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking to expand your skills, this pattern provides an enjoyable challenge that will elevate your knitting repertoire.
