The Hood River Cowl was inspired by the 2013 Columbia Gorge Fiber Festival in beautiful Hood River, Oregon. This pattern features corrugated ribbing with a twist: It is worked in just one color, focusing on the lovely, architectural qualities of corrugated ribbing. The pattern is rounded out with a classic knit-and-purl X’s and O’s stitch pattern.

A brief tutorial on corrugated ribbing is included in this pattern.
