I am now retired from knit design due to progressive arthritis and I am offering my designs to Ravelry users for free. I will not be providing designer support any longer but my patterns are tech edited and almost all have been tested.

My totally reversible Beartooth Pass Cowl is my first in a collection of Tuck Stitch patterns. The body is an easy to memorize repeat. Italian Tubular CO matches Tubular BO for the Dark Color trim.

Work it in worsted OR sport weight.
