“Rise over Run” is a colorwork cowl/infinity scarf which features a geometric pattern that angles back & forth, alternating main color & contrast colors. Instructions for both a single loop cowl, worked in dk or worsted weight, and a double loop scarf, worked in fingering weight, are included. Dive into your stash & find those gorgeous soft single skeins that are waiting to be paired with a pattern that works up into a striking accessory. Both options begin with a provisional cast-on, and are worked in the round, forming a tube. The live stitches at the ends of the tube are joined together, either with a 3-needle bind-off or with Kitchener stitch, whichever is preferred.
