This is an intermediate project. The knitter should be familiar with knitting and purling and able to make a consistent fabric. The cabling is super simple and repetitive which makes this a good first cabling project.

Additional instructions for gauges from 3-9 stitches/inch 12-36 stitches/10 cm are included. Also included are instructions for knitting the design flat. 400 yards should make the 3-4 stitch/inch versions. Up to 800 may be needed in finer gauges.

If you get a gauge of 34, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 stitches per inch in the pattern stitch, you will need 84108, 132, 162, 186, 216, 240 pegs to knit the design in the round. Add 2 pegs to those numbers to knit it flat.

The cowl is a stylish and fuss-free way to stay warm.
