Inspired by the colors of the rocks and the flow of the water in a mountain stream, Pebble Brook utilizes slipped-stitch cables to highlight the color changes in variegated yarns and give this cowl a sense of movement. The cowl is knit in the round from the bottom up and the size is easily adjustable.

Pebble Brook is a quick knit perfect for gifting! Cabling without a cable needle really makes it fly!

Pattern contains both charted and full written instructions as well as instructions on changing the size of the cowl.
