The River cowl uses designer Yumiko Alexander's signature cable dropped stitch lace pattern. This stitch pattern combines cables and dropped stitches, so if you know how to work with cables, you are good to go! A bottom slit opens up and makes a unique shape, yet it is comfortable to wear.
The pattern includes an option to make the lace pattern without cables (as shown in Garnet sample).
