Simple or complex, say yes to texture.
Work slowly and with intention. Savor the process, cherish the results - both tangible and intangible. Create a thing you can see and touch.
Breathe. 🧘

Rib and Divot Cowl is a perfect example that knit and purl alone can achieve surprisingly structured fabric texture! 'Missed' ribs placed in a tiled layout create deep divots in the fabric and bow the ribs. 🧶
Image 1 alt for pattern and yarn info
#knitsky #craftsky #knitting
A hand knit cowl on a natural tone linen mannequin with a white background with shadow. The cowl has a textured ribbing pattern of 'missed' ribs that create divots or dips in the fabric and make the ribs appear to lean into each other. The pattern is @LavishCraft Rib and Divot Cowl. Ravelry https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rib-and-divot or PayHip https://payhip.com/b/PQC13 It is worked in a bright pink and orange tonal kettle dyed yarn. Malabrigo Rios in Gemini. (This is not a shaped item, it has lots of negative ease and flex to fit over the upper chest but still stand up around the neck on it's own) A texture close up of previously described rib and divot cowl laid flat, showing the effect of the illusion of bent or differently spaced ribbing. another flat image of the same previously described pink Rib and Divot cowl. Displayed flat on a black background, positioned to spread outward toward the lower edge to show its flex and how the fabric changes appearance (it is not a shaped item, there is just lots of negative ease and stretch)

Photo of a fit and flared hand knit neck warmer on a mannequin in front of a plain black background. The project has deep dimensional waves of what appear to be folded pleats columns zigzagging back and forth and curling around the neck. The yarn color is a variegated deep purples base with blues greens and golden orange tones. Design comments: Sample used 1.5 Hanks of @malabrigoyarn Washted in Arco Baleno Fantastic with a variegated yarn, it pools and scatters the colors across the Swags in a gorgeous way as it shifts in size. The movement, the ruffled dimension, and how it changes with angle of lighting make for an engaging to knit, and fun to wear, project. A square, four image collage with different views of the previously described knitting sample. Various closeups on the texture shown both on the mannequin and flat, with differing angles of light - demonstrating the effect of shadow on the dimensional stitching.
