The self-published pattern available in the designer’s Ravelry store contains a detailed description of how to work the Crossed Rib Stitch, as well as information on customizing the size of the cowl

This shaped kerchief cowl looks impressive but comes together easily. Three colors of Valley Yarns’ Westfield complement the crossed rib stitch pattern, resulting in a soft and stylish accessory for three-season wear. Prime Meridian is knit back and forth in one piece as a triangle and then seamed. The cross rib stitch pattern is in written form only.
