The Ripple Ridge Cowl is a cozy and textured accessory featuring a rich, reversible fabric with pronounced ribbing and a flowing pattern that alternates between two colors. The use of brioche knitting in two colors adds depth and dimension, as one color becomes dominant on each side while the other forms subtle background patterns, almost like waves or ripples. The soft and airy texture of Rico Design Madly in Love yarn enhances the cowl’s warmth and comfort, making it perfect for cooler weather.

PATTERN NOTES
This cowl is knit flat starting with a provisional cast-on that is later unpicked and grafted to live sts to create a tube.

The Two Color Brioche pattern is both written and charted for your convenience.

Please note that the larger size of this pattern is written to make the most of two skeins of Rico Design Madly in Love. You may need to unravel your swatch to use in the final piece.
