The Diamond River Cowl gets its name from the diamond brocade pattern, which is featured in two ways, and the word “rios” which is the Portuguese word for “river.” This worsted-weight cowl is perfect for spring and autumn when you don’t need a long scarf. This is a great beginner pattern for anyone who would like an introduction to texture! The format of the pattern includes written instructions as well as charts.
