This is a quite a quick knit, since it’s worked in chunky yarn on fairly big needles. It’s quite straightforward once you get the hang of brioche stitch (look online if you’re having trouble working it out - there are loads of great instructional videos out there!)

The cables help it to sit really nicely, and it looks great worn as pictured or folded down to make it shorter. It’s worked flat, and then the cast-on edge is sewn to the bind-off edge to construct the cowl.

• In addition to your main 8mm needles you, of course, need a suitable cable needle (or dpn).
