Today, the Cell Block Cowl in Adore and Adore Colors (pattern link here). Where does it get its name? From Chicago’s Cell Block Tango?

He had it comin’.
From Elvis?

Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock
No, it’s from the way the solid Adore surrounds striped Adore Colors to create cells of color.
Although what you sing while you knit it is your business.
Slipped stitches create the pattern here – no need to work more than color at a time. Using a striped yarn as the background gives it that extra burst – Uptown DK Colors would be a good choice to use, as well.

Looks complex, but in reality, it’s very easy. Knit a tube in the round, slipping stitches where appropriate, then seam up the ends. Voila!
We hope you have a wonderful weekend. Savor your freedom before Monday rolls back around! Happy crafting!
