Mistaken Rib Gradation Cowl

Ravelry Project Page - Mistaken Rib Gradation Cowl

This cowl was finished just in time for next fall. I love how I can get two looks depending on which end is at the top.

Five colors for the price of three! I've been wanting to knit something using color gradation for a while but it took some time for the pieces to fall together. I found the the perfect yarn during a visit to Webs and then adjusted Purl Soho's Mistake Rib Cowl pattern.
