For accessibility this pattern is available in my etsy.com shop. Add a little bit of lace to a little bit of cabling and you have a beautiful cowl. This is a perfect pattern for variegated and solid yarns. It has a sophisticated look that makes it the great fall accessory and a lovely holiday gift. A variety of looms may be used, and beads may be added for a little something extra.
