Driven by the desire to design a cushy, warm, textured cabled cowl to wrap myself up in during the cold winter days, I experimented with different textures and stitch combinations. I sought out the perfect combination that would be equally beautiful on both sides of the fabric, so I could create different looks by buttoning the cowl in various ways. That cowl is Reversibility!

Using just 1 skein of Galler Yarns Worsted One-ply Wool, affectionately known as W.O.W, I was able to create the largest size cowl shown. Always wanting to provide you with options so you can customize a pattern to suit your own taste, the pattern includes instructions to make a short cowl and a mid-length version too.
