This cowl has a lovely combination of vertical ribs and horizontal stripes of garter stitch on a stockinette stitch background. It’s a wonderful cowl suitable for both males and females alike and a great one for even beginners to tackle.

The cowl is knit flat and will need to be sewn up with a tapestry needle in the final step using the Mattress technique. This technique is explained with diagrams in the pattern.
