ZigZag Rib Mitts and Cowl
The simplest patterns are often some of the most beautiful. This is one of the joys of knitting. Our basic stitches, knit and purl, can be combined in many ways to produce a variety of fabrics.
Many simple patterns, when written, seem long and complex but when charted quickly reveal their rhythm and simplicity. In addition, the use of charts clarifies the understanding of how to create a gusset while maintaining the established pattern.
Based on a simple 3x3 rib, this zigzag pattern is perfect for projects requiring a stretchy fabric.
