This cowl pattern is an excellent beginners introduction to doing a simple cable and lace. The cable pattern is written in simple instructions. There are also links to quick videos that teach how to do: long-tail cast on, slip knit pass (skp), and how to do a stretchy bind off.

I’ve also included tips along the way, including how to make sure you have the right length of yarn for the long-tail cast on.

Items needed:

#9 24” circular needles
stitch markers
stitch counter
tapestry needle
#4 heavy worsted weight yarn
