This pattern has now been knit tested by purlinsbeard. A couple clarifications were made and a chart added. The pdf reflects these changes. Please email me here if you have any questions or encounter any problems.
The pattern just takes 50 grams of the worsted weight in pink, 50 grams blue, and 25 grams white. When I originally knit out of 3 100 gram skeins I had enough leftover to make a ribbed hat, some cabled fingerless gloves, and a little flag! We have kits in our online shop with the skeins broken up into the smaller amounts for just the cowl.
Please consider contributing to one of these awesome organizations (or a local or national trans supportive org of your choice). I’ll keep adding links. Thanks!

About the Cowl: The cowl is knit from the 3 colors of the Trans Pride flag. The colors shift from blue to pink to white to pink to blue with cables weaving the colors together. The cowl has a garter stitch border on both sides of 3 stitches (where you knit every row) with reverse stockinette fabric between borders and cables (where you purl on right side, knit on wrong side). The four two color cable stitches are always knit on the right side and purled on the wrong side. Provisionally cast on and grafted at the end, the pattern includes stitch by stitch instructions for graftng in pattern.
Gauge is not really essential to this project. The main thing is that the fabric is solid and not holey, but not overly rigid. Go up or down in needle size as makes sense to you.
Finished garment: approx. 8” tall by 12” wide (24” long before folded & grafted together).
