The Killarney Cabled Scarf and Cowl design has a soft, Celtic look with lots of options. The scarf can be knitted with either a 3-stitch twisted rib cable framing the center Celtic cable design, or a basic 4-stitch cable. The cowl changes the look slightly with double 4-stitch cabled columns. Either 4-stitch version can also be knitted up as an afghan or throw.

The knitting skill level is intermediate and above. Knowledge of cables, twisted stitches, right crosses, and knitting in-the-round is necessary. The scarf and cowl patterns are both written and charted (using color coding for the various cables) for easy interpretation. However, the 4-stitch basic cable version of the scarf is charted only. Choose a nice Aran tweed or bulky weight yarn to knit either version of the scarf. Use a nice bulky Alpaca for a soft, chunky, warm collar or cowl. Whichever option you choose, the Killarney design is sure to provide style and warmth with a bit of Irish flair.
