This chunky knit cowl features two types of cables: the moss heart and the propeller cables knit on a garter stitch background.

Worsted weight yarn is held double and knit on #13 needles for extra comfort and loftiness.

This cowl is a quick knit for those who are experienced and is an excellent project for those who want to practice their cabling techniques. As the gauge allows for loose stitches, this project is also perfect for anyone that wants to perfect the art of Japanese cabling (cabling without a cable needle) and has links within the pattern to help you along your way.
