Roots and Rivulets
The lush texture of ribbing and cables creates a visual ode to the roots and rivulets that branch, entwine, and move through the earth, symbolizing the water and flora that nourishes life throughout the planet.
The cowl is worked in the round, and two options are provided for the central motif, one representing roots and the other representing rivulets.
Pattern includes both charted and written instructions. Techniques required: knitting in the round, cables.
