The Towpath Cowl combines meditative stitches and classic construction for a strikingly simple piece. Two variations on the versatile half-double crochet create its simple knit-look rib pattern, which is finished with a möbius twist. Combine two colors of DK weight yarn for a contrasting double-sided look, or get creative with a single color or scraps and mini skeins. The advanced beginner will find this pattern easy to tackle after learning a couple new stitches! It is sized to fit the average adult.
