High-Rise Cowl by Babs Ausherman I had so much fun knitting several Skyscraper Windows cowls that I decided to use the same stitch pattern on a different cowl shape! The High-Rise Cowl uses the same window pattern, but instead of grafting the ends together to create a tube this cowl begins and ends with ribbing. Knit a tall cowl like the sample for a slower color change or a wider version to watch the colors speed by more quickly; either way this simple, repetitive pattern is sure to please.
