Precious Metal Cowl in the Knitter Magazine Issue 70

Inspired by the ripple patterns formed by the wind on drifting snow, my new cowl design in Issue 70 blends a light and airy stitch pattern with a chunky shimmering yarn. The dropped stitch rib pattern is reversible and uses short row shaping to form the ripples and drifts. The cowl can be worn in a big loop or wrapped around your neck twice for a cosy feel.
