Ripples in the Mist is the perfect cowl to keep out the chill on cold and misty mornings! Knit either with a bandana point or just in the round with a straight bottom edge, it’s perfect for keeping out drafts. An i-cord at the top and bottom edge gives a smooth finish.

The pattern includes both charts and written instructions, so however you like to read your patterns, you’re covered! The pattern has been tech edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the pattern and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. These additional techniques are used: i-cord cast-on (straight-edged only), i-cord bind-off (both patterns) and applied i-cord (bandana cowl only).
