Ya Ya's Twisted Rib Cowl

by YaYa Lovestoknit..........free on ravelry.com. Super easy and I learned about that twist stitching situation.  I love the way that ribbing looks when all done.

I used an acrylic chunky that Jerri gave me when she was weeding out her yarns.  Nice and soft.

So, 4 years later Jacque's fiber and these wonderful patterns are still holding up!
