You know how you like to sit and knit mindlessly in front of the TV? And how that flow is interrupted if you have to get out your cable needle? This cowl has a richly textured surface, sometimes even resembling cables, without having to get out those cable needles…
It’s double length, so that you can let it curve gracefully around your shoulders, or wind it tightly against the cold if you go outside. But you could also shorten it or lengthen it, the pattern is very versatile.
Enjoy the three different stitch patterns, the Trellis Stitch, the Wigwam Stitch and the Bobble Cable stitch (not a cable, in spite of the name). The edging is a twisted cable stitch. Knit with only 2 skeins of delicious hand-dyed worsted, keeps you warm and stylish all winter long!

The cowl now has a matching beret, the Diminishing Bubble Beret. If you buy them together, there’s a 30% discount!
