When the weather turns chilly and your little one could do with a little extra warmth, this cowl is the perfect thing to pop over their head. Twisted rib flows down the folded collar and shoulders to create a snug fit that will protect against the blusteriest of days.
Treasured is knit top down, beginning in the round with the shoulders shaped using raglan increases. Once the yoke is completed, the back and sleeve stitches are put on hold while the front is worked flat and shaped with decreases to create a gentle point. Stitches are then picked up along each of the decrease edges and the held stitches are put back on the needles. You continue in the round once more, finishing the cowl with an edge of twisted rib.
This pattern is only available in digital form. You'll get an email with a download link immediately after purchase.
