Nights out with friends, good stories & intertwining tales, laughter, meals shared over drinks — just some of the things missed during the pandemic. Designed in collaboration with Flower Garden Yarns using their Merino DK in Sangria, the Camaraderie cowl embodies these missed nights and our mutual affection for them.

This cozy & romantic cowl is worked from the top down with gradual increases that flow into a classic box pleat edging. It features undulating and intricate cables, peekaboo eyelets, and a ton of texture.

This pattern is much easier than it looks with many simple rounds. It includes 10 pages of written & charted instructions, 7 video tutorial links, a picture tutorial, several tips for working giant cables, and modification guidance. It has been tech edited & tested.

Skill level: Adventurous beginner to intermediate.
