Ancient Rebirth is an adjustable size cowl feature slipped stitches, cables, and a few yarn overs with a double decrease (s2, k1, p2sso) that evokes an almost phoenix-like look, and 1/1 cables alternating over one another that create texture. Easily adjustable to your yarn, this pattern will keep you busy, with some nice breaks in-between.

Pattern has both written and charted instructions, and instructions to help aid in adjusting the size.
