Breaking the rules when knitting always makes me happy for some reason. When I designed this cowl, I hadn’t planned on working with two different weights of yarn. I must have been distracted whilst caking - however, because it wasn’t until I finished swatching that I realized my mistake. I really liked the result though. The DK weight really makes the cable the absolute star!
