Inspired by the Sellwood Bridge, the twisted ribbing on this pattern set mimics the meandering nature of the Willamette River, which flows under the beautiful and historic Sellwood Bridge.

Yarn - 300-325 yards sport-weight yarn for arm/legwarmers, 300 yards for cowl. Shown in Blue Moon Fiber Arts Victoria (100% South American Polwarth; 661 yards/226 grams), colorway Kapow Patina.

Needles - US #5/3.75mm (or size to get gauge) for your preferred method of knitting a small item in the round (either two circulars, or one long circular for magic loop, or a set of double-pointed needles) AND needles one size smaller for ribbing.

Notions - Tapestry needle.

Skill level - Advanced beginner (knitting in the round, twisted stitches).
