Hudson Ripple Cowl

If textured curves and simple cables are your thing, then look no further! The Hudson Ripple Cowl is full of stitch after stitch fun! It is worked flat from tip to its final I-cord edge, with a 3-needle bind off for a seamless finish. Part of the Hudson Ripple collection, inspired from the contours of the creeks and streams filling the Hudson River in upstate New York, this cowl makes for a fun addictive knitting project. What starts out as a bottom-up triangular shawl finishes as an asymmetrical cowl that you can easily throw on, giving instant styling without any of the fuss. The pattern comes with several video tutorials for the techniques and stitches used, together with a detailed construction video on how this fun cowl is worked. The pattern is complete with full written and charted instructions. It's the perfect long weekend/ traveler project. > [**Size 1 (Blue sample) uses 2 strands of fingering weight yarn held together.
