Texture Top Down by Boho Chic Fiber Co. | The Texture Top-Down brings texture and stripes together for a wonderfully simple yet engaging knit! Alternating garter and ribbed rounds, combined with alternating colors used for each texture, makes for a lovely fabric and interesting color play. I knit the Texture Top-Down up in Rico Design’s Lazy Hazy Summer Cotton yarn which has a tweedy effect and adds to the depth of color. The Texture Top-Down is a great beginner level design that is perfect for showing off tweedy or speckled yarns!\
