Down River is a delicate, two-color, trans-seasonal cowl inspired by a stream near my home. Each of the textures in the cowl are created with simple stitches, and represent the rustic path (along which I often walk), the reeds along the bank, and the stream itself.

Stitch patterns are both written and charted.
