Notes: This cabled cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up. It is designed to be structural and maintain a somewhat close fit for warmth. To this end you will see a round of decreases near the top. If you want a looser fit simply omit the decrease round and continue working in pattern as set in previous rounds. As this is a simple C4F cable, I suggest that you play with not using a cable needle. The technique for this is explained in the pattern.
