The perfect cowl to keep you snug in a storm! Fisherman’s Rib is a simple, rhythmic rib created by alternating a knit stitch with a ‘knit one below.’ The result? A cozy fabric with unequaled warmth and volume. Soft, plump yarns are perfectly suited for this deeply textured stitch. Hurray!

This free pattern is written for four gauges.
