Walking Rib Cowl Using Brooklyn Tweed Arbor
The Design
This subtle diagonal stitch pattern is akin to K2/P2 ribbing, but the rhythm ‘walks’ over by one stitch every other row (or round) for a subtle, reversible texture that’s easier than it looks.
Brooklyn Tweed's Arbor showcases stitch definition beautifully in this two skein cowl. And Arbor's rounded 3-ply composition creates 'stand-up' structure. Block firmly for a smoother fabric, or leave unblocked for more squish and squeeze!
