The show-stopping Bridge City Cowl is characterized by movement, color, and grace. Make the two-color cowl for a two-tone effect or the four-color cowl for a color-block effect. As an added bonus, only one color is worked at a time.
Bridge City is one of the nicknames for Portland, Oregon. This stitch effect, particularly in the four-color cowl, brings to mind reflections on the Willamette River in the evening light.
Skills Needed: Slipping stitches.
