Citaco

Citaco (also known as “citigo” or “Down to the Wildwood to Shoot the Buffalo”) is a delightful Old Time fiddle tune that inspires creativity in knitters and musicians alike. This spirited tune, often played in GDAD or AEAE tuning on the violin, evokes the rich cultural heritage of the Appalachian region, particularly Citaco, an area located northeast of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Embrace the musicality of this piece as you work on your knitting project.

In this knitting pattern, you'll find a thoughtful guidance on needle sizes to achieve the desired fit for your cozy top. The pattern advises increasing to larger needle sizes after the cabled ribbing section. This technique produces a beautifully relaxed fit, as showcased in our photos. If you prefer a more fitted look, you can choose to continue with the smaller needles used for casting on. Whether you're an advanced knitter or a beginner, this pattern allows for personal customization to suit your style!
