Choose the PatchRib Set ebook, and make the matching collection of scarf, hat and infinity loop.

Create a patchwork infinity cowl using fluffy, two-color Fisherman’s rib. The fully reversible stitch pattern allows a different color to dominate on each side, while the shifting color blocks provide plenty of visual interest. Loop it once or twice, wear it twisted or straight; this neckwarmer presents so many styling options.

Construction: Worked back and forth from one end to the other, the PatchRIB Loop is cast on using the provisional method, and grafted closed. Using just one color per row, the fluffy Fisherman’s rib stitch pattern is a four-row repeat, in which two RS rows are worked with alternating colors by sliding the stitches to the other end of the circular needle, then the work is turned and two WS rows are worked similarly. Slipped stitch edges keep the color changes invisible and create a sophisticated appearance.

Techniques & Skills Used: provisional CO, knit/purl, working into the stitch below, grafting. This pattern contains written instructions, with links to my tutorials for the provisional CO and working into the stitch below.

Size: one size; 8” wide and 40” long, measured flat.

Yarn: Lion Brand Yarns Heartland (100% acrylic; 251 yards/230m/142g); approximately 45 yards each of 5 colors, or 225 yards total of worsted weight yarn. For the sample, I substituted in a sixth color on one side of one colorblock; sample shown in Yosemite (orange), Wolf Trap (pink), Kings Canyon (green), Kobuk Valley (purple), Grand Canyon (beige), and Voyageurs (light blue).

Other Materials: US 7 (4.5mm) 16” circular needle, or size to match gauge; Scrap yarn; Yarn needle.

Gauge: 12 st and 34 rows/4” in Fisherman’s rib st, lightly blocked and measured flat; 14 st and 28 rows/4” worn looped. Gauge is not critical for this project, however a different gauge may result in a smaller or larger finished loop, and different yardage requirements.
