Pine Street Split Rib Cowl

**This cowl was inspired by the 2025 Philadelphia Yarn Crawl, and knit using yarn from Yarnphoria, a wonderful local shop on Pine Street in Philadelphia.** This simple cowl features a marled effect and a construction that shifts from knitting in the round to working flat. The resulting split adds versatility to how it can be worn—open in the front, folded over, or tucked inside a coat—and helps reduce bulk at the back of the neck. **I hope you enjoy it!
