The Mullagh Cowl—filled with cables and texture—is named for the small village of Mullagh in County Clare, Ireland not far from the Atlantic coast.

The rustic, rocky shore of this part of Ireland inspired all of the intertwining texture in this exciting cowl.

The Mullagh Cowl—with both written and charted directions—is engaging from the first stitch until the last. It is written on one size to be knit in luxurious DK held with mohair for an indulgent knit and a cozy finished object. It’s suitable for an intermediate knitter but interesting enough for a more advanced one.
