Ripple Effect Cowl Knitting Pattern

This is a knitting pattern.

To create the vision I had, I stacked some yarn overs in a way that created a wave of them up the cowl, giving a ripple effect. I also wanted the same ease of the ditch-the stitch-marker style of some of my other patterns, like the Gales of November. I am so pleased with how it turned out. I wear this type of cowl 3 seasons out of the year in northeast Minnesota - for me, it stands up without sagging down to block the wind so my hands can be warm in my pockets. The cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up. I've written the pattern to be made in one size with a single 90-yard skein of super bulky yarn. Uses US 13 - 9.0mm and US 15 - 10.0mm needles.
