This oversized cowl is just the ticket to keep out the chill on those crisp springtime strolls. Peperomia uses a combo of knit and purl stitches along with the occasional increase and decrease to create a fabric which looks complex but is, in fact, a breeze to knit.

PATTERN NOTES
Peperomia uses simple knits and purls to create a fabric which looks complex but is, in fact, a breeze to knit. It features panels of 1x1 rib framed by broken rib worked on the bias to enhance the fabric’s drape. The bottom of the cowl is wider than the top, so it will rest happily on your shoulders without being too bulky around your neck. Peperomia is finished with a Tubular Bind Off creating a wonderfully elastic edge.
