Description

Rushing River Cowl is inspired by the beautiful colors and rippled texture of water as it travels down and around rocks and becomes white water churning over rapids. The lace and texture features are reminiscent of rushing water and the foam created by its passage in and among boulders.

Pattern Notes

This pattern is worked in the round from the bottom up.
This pattern uses an I-cord bind off.
If you wish to increase or decrease the width, you can increase/decrease by 12 stitch repeats. All three pattern stitches are based on a 12 stitch repeat.
Use stitch markers to indicate repeats, if needed, to help keep track of the stitch patterns.
