PATTERN INFORMATION
Anka Cowl is worked diagonally in a pretty rib stitch. It starts at one corner and is shaped with increases and decreases, then the two back edges are joined on the bind-off row.
The pattern contains both charts and full written instructions as well as a photo tutorial showing how to work the rib.

This pattern is named after my aunt, Anka, who showed me the rib stitch. We were equally excited about it!
