Farrow Rib is my favorite kind of ribbing, and you can see it at the top of this cowl design. It doesn’t have quite the elasticity of a standard 1x1 or 2x2 rib, but it has more visual and textural interest. Farrow Rib is a 3-stitch multiple, and it features a column of stockinette, a column of garter stitch, and a column of reverse stockinette. I expanded the Farrow Rib pattern into a 9-stitch multiple and a 27-stitch multiple, and stacked these variations into a simple tube for a cowl. Three squared = 9, and 3 cubed = 27, so there’s the inspiration for the pattern’s name.
