In Spanish, this crochet stitch is often referred to as Falso Punto Tejer - basically “fake knitting”. What a delightful name! And that’s exactly what the fabric looks like on the right side - horizontal knitted rib. On the wrong side, it produces a lovely textured fabric that isn’t readily identifiable as either crochet or knitting.

Dunlin from Small Bird Workshop on Vancouver Island is beautifully dyed in heathered multi-tones with a lot of depth, and the yarn is SO soft and squishy! Two skeins will work for most sizes. I decided to make myself an X-Large, so I needed to purchase a 3rd skein.

Recently someone asked if I could adjust the pattern to make a cozy cowl - happy to oblige! For the cowl, I used Knitpicks Chroma Worsted yarn, worked single-strand.
