Cinnamon Stars

Introducing Cinnamon Stars, a charming knitted hat inspired by the captivating Oncidium Twinkle ‘Cinnamon’ orchid. This stunning plant blooms with dozens of tiny, cascading flowers that form a beautiful display beneath its leaves. Upon closer inspection, you'll find that the blossoms emit a warm, spicy scent that can truly elevate your mood. This delightful experience inspired me to create a cozy knitted hat that mirrors the orchid's elegance and charm.

Cinnamon Stars utilizes just two colors within a simple yet captivating colorwork pattern, making it an ideal project for beginners who are venturing into the world of color knitting. For experienced knitters, this pattern offers a quick and enjoyable knitting experience. Whether you're new to the craft or a seasoned pro, you’ll love experimenting with your color choices to make your own unique version of this cozy accessory!
