Rise and Run by Sarah E. Chapman
Craft: Knitting
Oddly reminiscent of the safety treads on stairs, the Rise and Run Cowl minds the gap with a delightful contrast color!
As a study in color, the cowl is knit in two different versions: Alegria Grande and Maxima. Use 3 Alegria Grande Bocados to create a subtle gradient. Or, in Maxima, one contrast color high steps its way through the entrelac pattern.
