The Scioto Mile is a shining green gem in the heart of downtown Columbus, Ohio. Seated in a crescent on the banks of the Scioto River, you have the best of both worlds there: a beautiful greenspace with plenty of places to sit and watch the river roll by, and Columbus’ signature skyline as a backdrop, with beautiful historic buildings like the LeVeque Tower and the Ohio State Supreme Court to add to the scene. The Scioto Mile Cowl features echoes of these two worlds’ textures: the ripples of the river current, the plump puffs of white clouds in a clear blue sky, and the symmetrical structure of the buildings.

This pattern is written for beginning level crocheters and is easily adaptable to different yarn weights and dimensions. The finished piece shown is made with less than a single skein of Space Cadet Lucina.
