When you knit one of Christina Steward’s patterns, knit with confidence. Each pattern is thoughtfully designed with beauty and clarity in mind. Christina sends each pattern through tech editing and test knitting before it’s published, so you can enjoy knitting from stitch one. ♥

Stripes, color, and texture are combined for this unique and modern cowl. It is named after the Cartecay River in Ellijay, GA, where you may kayak on the rapids or peacefully float downstream on a tube. The colorwork pattern is reminiscent of sand ripples found on the river banks.

The cowl is knit in one piece and folded in on itself to hide the stranded knitting.

Both written instructions and charts are provided.
