A Decade of Patterns - The Lost Years

The Rib It Fashion Cowl was the second “scarf” that I made in 2015 and my first exposure to the word “cowl” in reference to a neckpiece. Up until this point I just called these items circle scarves. Who knew knitting could increase your vocabulary!?! It’s amazing what you can learn when you pick up a new hobby.

This particular project was my first attempt at doing ribbing. It was a fun challenge with my newly acquired knitting skills and a stepping stone into stitch patterns.
