This cowl features a classic cable pattern that has stood the test of time—beloved by designers and wearers alike. Worked in the round, the design uses a cable repeat and has folded edges for a
neat, polished finish. The resulting fabric strikes a balance between a soft drape and the structured snugness of a ribbed knit, comfortably hugging the neck.
The design shines in bold colours that brighten winter outfits but is equally elegant in soft neutrals like greys and creams.
You can easily modify the circumference and height by adding
or subtracting pattern repeats or adjusting the number of rounds worked. Keep in mind that modifications will affect the yardage required.

Suggested Needles: 4.00 mm / US 6, 40-60 cm / 16” -24” circular needles (or size needed to obtain gauge)
