Yes, Kate--it's an awesome project! Didn't know Dustin was the originator of the design--thanks for the clarification. Makes design sense, as it seems to have him written all over it!

For another clarification, dear readers, you should know that the cone I have pictured above and the step-outs I show below don't have that much to do with each other, other than the fact that they are both square stitch, they both employ increases, and they both got me out of my rut. Follow Kate's link to learn the cone, or, if you just want to practice and learn square-stitch increases and circular square stitch, follow along with my photos in this blog.

Thanks, Jean! I love circular square stitch too. The cones in our book are a double spiral, worked two rows at a time and designed by Dustin Wedekind, actually- I put up a blog post today if people want to see what they look like.

Our pattern is also available as a free download (along with many others) on the Specials For Pre-Orders page on our book blog. We made a whole series of work out of the concept, including Christina Vandervlist's stunning Double-Cone Ring and Tutu Cuff.

Here is the page for the Book Blog- there are TONS of photos of cones on there as well.

We appreciate the mention and can't wait to see the Cones you are working on!
