Sanctuary Place Cowl
This is a quick and easy pattern to create a cosy worsted weight cowl, with a mixture of garter, twists, and cables, it has just enough interest to keep the knit engaging but still simple enough to make for a nice relaxing knit. You can make it in the 3 colours as laid out in the pattern or you could opt for a 1 colour version, in either solid, tonal, or speckled yarn to suit your preferences.

Materials:
The following yarn usage amount is an approximate guide and is in fact a little over the actual amount I used, as I have applied an approx. 10% buffer of each ball used, plus rounded up the numbers, in view of differences between knitter’s gauge and such, and to give you a few grams room:
Requires approx. 259 yards / 237 metres Worsted weight yarn.
For the Sample I used: De Rerum Natura, Gilliatt,
