I knit this cowl using one of my all-time favorite cable stitches: the honeycomb stitch. I just love the stretchiness of it and it also creates the look of a complex pattern, even though only 2 cable stitches are used: LPC and RPC (I explained both in the abbreviations section).

This pattern is written four different ways for four different weights of yarn (DK, worsted, bulky, and super bulky). All of the cowls have the same dimensions at the end, they will just require more repeats of the pattern and more cast on stitches the lighter the weight of yarn.

Gauge - DK(worsted, bulky, super bulky)
With US 6(7, 10, 13) needles:
18(17, 12, 9) stitches and 24(24, 17, 12) rows make a 4” square in stockinette stitch

Skills to know

cast on
knitting in the round on circular needles
LPC and RPC cable stitches (again, instructions included)
